serpentine cognition
neurouroboria
construct entropia
self-destructive behavior
equal and opposite
self subhumerate
lower energy state
self degenerate
this is your only blood
this is your birthmark
this is where light begins
groping in the dark
self abuse informs self pleasure
eviscerate, regenerate in equal measure
self pleasure informs self abuse
shoulder angels, shoulder devils
no truce, no truce
hurting and healing
defend and attack
two steps forward
two steps back
the eternal return
doing and undoing
constantly destroying
constantly renewing
oedipus complexion
self abacinate
id and ego bleed together
reconciliate
this is how the world ends
right where it begins
vicious circle curves and bends
in rhetoric spins
this is your only blood
this is your birthmark
this is where life begins
groping in the dark
self abuse informs self pleasure
eviscerate, regenerate in equal measure
self pleasure informs self abuse
shoulder angels, shoulder devils
reduce, seduce
anabolism, catabolism
in the end it's a coping mechanism
self pleasure, self abuse
bait and switch
no truce, no truce

Watchers of the Sky
07:57

so many eyes on the heavens
turned up and away from below
from the stifling smell of human
and how we've made it so
putrified
humanized
synthesized
necrotized
co-evolving ambition
to foul the nest
and to sight the stars, the stars
craning our necks
seekers of the cure
find only the flame
needers of the pure
placers of blame
those who feel secure
so small inside
those who will endure
are watchers of the sky
don't look back to the bridges
they burn too bright
don't look down from the path
it's a dizzying height
don't take your eyes from the destination
shimmering in sight
don't let them spy our departure
under cover of night
the cleansing secret within us
binding curiosity
with the stars for guidance
aware of the human
oddity
fallacy
hypocrisy
mediocrity
it is a sense of hope
faith in equilibrium
that there's a place for us
somewhere in the continuum
the question of cosmic destiny
is something for us out there
is it our lot to exodus
or just to stand and stare
seekers of the cure
find only the flame
needers of the pure
placers of blame
those who feel secure
so small inside
those who will endure
are watchers of the sky

out of the eater
something to eat
out of the strong
something sweet
bitter is the light that fails
kept at bay by the storm of its lack, its lack
thus brittle is the hope that the white element
will not one day fade to black
better is the singularity
that weathers the crest to trough
than the multiplicity
to bend is to break - now hard, then soft
shadow fleshes into figure
figure flattens into shadow
alpha omega
solstice equinox
wolf in sheep's clothing
janus paradox
heavier is the psyche
that suffers the knowledge of gravity
but being is light and nothing is not
fulfillment mirrors depravity
long is the path that cuts the abyss
'tween inflection and reflection
from cathexis to catharsis
metamorphosis and correction
such as each one comes
so does each one die
so will each one
and with the widening sum
the heart learns to pine
such as each one comes
so does each one die
am becoming...unbecoming
am becoming...unbecoming
untangle the double helix
at only my behest
unbind dizzying omnivectors
of astral void
i bring this request
all of the water
all of the earth
all of the planets
all that it's worth
all of the skies
to world's tip
which is the anchor
which is the ship
all that is right
all that is wrong
all that is here
all that is gone
all that is sundered
all that is wed
which is the stand
which is the fled
all that is naught
all that is still
all that is empty
all that is filled
all that is nine
all that is ten
which is the hand
which is the pen
which is the fuel
which is the burn
which is the wheel
which is the turn
which is the oyster
which is the pearl
which is the living
and which is its world
i stood by the ocean
the great divider
i bring a request
i am life aware
the great combiner
i bring a request
let significance dominate material
i am impossible atoms adhered
unfathomably small, humanoid
at wave's crest
