Discohymn 05:29
A longer ride to avoid the freeway Past the cereal factory The fallen fast food wrappers Are a sure sign of fall Tires unpunctured by glass There’s no fastest way through a grid My head is caught in the net Of the present when i arrive at the station Every morning, bodies in the hundred thousands Tunneling seven miles of water Bodies and breath under the bay floor The buildings are constructed As the escalator rises The bricks flower into workplaces As the sky turns its back That is how i arrive

Lenses 03:40
On the way here i Watched two day laborers fail to Catch a white dove In their hard hands There was cake frosting on the trash can lids Where they wait for work to come There was cake frosting on the trash can lids. Where they play domino From the corner cafe I watched two new cars collide And a green ambulance Arrive too late The sound of the siren shook my cup of juice from the ledge The sound of the siren harmonized with the buzz of the fridge The clouds hum a digital hum Through these polarized lenses As the waves sing below Their formless song And the hawks float sideways Silent on the ethery air And the hawks float sideways Silent, nothing can cohere

Earth 03:37

The Noise 05:00
I am innocent of having lived Just a vessel for fresh water I harm all things equally And all with love Im the maker of the noise That keeps me up at night I have always worked remotely Worked with love The road is long ahead It leads from the kitchen back to bed And out into a dream The road is long indeed It leads into a dream and then back to bed Demand quality of nature Demand the flowing of its waters And that its air be flush with matter Flush with love Gut beats heart is a race But heart has eyes like a face That stare off into space With love The road is long ahead It leads from the kitchen back to bed And out into a dream The road is long indeed It leads into a dream And then back to bed

The whole west was burning The ash on the windshield was thick enough to write my name and then to erase it was thick enough to write my name and see the world through it The whole west was burning The light from the embers was enough to illuminate the trees above our bed Was enough to illuminate the forest in our heads

Hey 03:21
7.
I remember what the sunset told me: nothing I cleaned my glasses three or four times to be sure Oh how i felt like a sisterless brother Watching the purple skirt of the night unfold What strange instinct draws me to mute places Looking for something to proclaim Hoping the voices that i heard as a child Will return today I remember what the sunset told me: nothing So i yelled back in a dry, young voice Please speak through me Or at least speak to me If you’re going to suggest so much Like a crane to south Like a bear to the river Like a bug to the light Hoping the voices that i heard as a child Will return tonight

Homehouse 04:27
The lake is the dream that the river dreams Home is the dream that the house dreams Let’s go home
9.
I saw a skateboard on the lakebed But you know that, I sent you a picture Moss was growing over the wheels The wheels and the moss were in love This is not a place you will be rushed out of Although the music makes your foot twitch I’m scolding but i’m clueless But you know that, i sent you a letter The walls were stained with your footprints Your feet and the walls were in love This is just like the place that you dreamed of
