Mannekin Hope, Mannekin Hope
A herd of unicorns
Trampled the pope
You are armies and legions come
I will not stop
Bring me a demon to spin a fireside riddle
I am the Weaver's daughter

How milky white his teeth are
A lonely lantern swings in his mind
And flickers behind his eyes

I'm a dog racing blindly over the hills at night
Howling banshee at the stars and moonlight.
Give me images,
Appearing through the dark green leaves
Sparkling with the morning dew,
As I glide gracefully over the rolling hills
To reach you.
While a black beast is smiling
In the dawn's light
It paces calmly outside the iron gate
There is no fence that keeps him in.
I see on the horizon, past the hills
Just to the North,
A silent town asleep in the sun
I turn my head towards the blue sky
Gathering clouds
Awaiting a world of "Welcome to Decay".
It gave a little girl
To give to me
To give to you
So that all might be remembered
Might be reconciled in you
But it's not the same
And she came out of the world crying,
"I'm no longer welcome and I don't know why".
You shift and flicker
Stuck as shards
In all my lovers.
I'm pregnant with the virtues of the past
"Or dust," she says.
The red cardinal
Or the carnival
Lapsing sideways
Forging where our dark dreams are going
Through the past and out at last
He's a horse-drawn carriage
Through your wants and ways
With a wink and a smile
And a gone-tomorrow
Ships, near the shore,
Were hurting to reach the crest of a wave
Where seagulls there,
Feathered in fancy flight,
Bounced off the waves
In shear delight.
Here is the place where you found us
It is that place from where I speak to you now
Without frozen regret
I love them more than memory,
More than the dawn,
And the bleeding horizon,
The life in long-living laughter,
The dream and the chase,
All the merzy doats in the world.
For them the star,
The frightful star
That let shine your little love-light
Into the midmost midnight
And find the serpent there,
An ouroboros,
The dew and the frost
In the morning in it's wakeful state.
Watch over me
Watch over them
In milky twilight
With stars wrapped around our heads
And feathers in our beds.

Come now
Come down
|
||||
5. |
||||
An all-pervading,
Warm and soft,
Close and comforting
Sorrow
Your sight stretches out
To lift the veil of images
That dance before your eyes
How can a thing ever be known?
It can only become
And float lazily for a little while
Above the ether
Before sinking with it's
Earthly name-anchor
Into the sparkling silver stream
Of memory
As you wonder,
"What dazzling fish carried
The Crystal Spirit Mundi?
What siren called my name
from some far-off shore?"

Tiny Music
05:13
|

You once said that everything is becoming.
Then you went over the hill and far, far away
With your tiny music.
My heart no longer thinks of you
And your tiny music
Where every kind of becoming stood still.
And I wonder, only,
If I knew you within or without.
I see now that you have gone to the North,
Blown by the wind,
And to the South,
And to the East,
And to the West
Where, perhaps, everything is becoming.
And I stand at the carnal point.
I stand at your cardinal point.
Where my heart can no longer hear you.
And I no longer think of you
And your tiny music.

From Sheneland

"Wake up, wake up, you drowsy sleeper.
Wake up, wake up, it's almost day.
How can you stand to sleep and slumber
When your own true lovers going away?"
From Sheneland to Shadowland
Led by my consumptive-faced Mary Jane.
Don't forget, dear friend, as we slip away
Gurgling on the breast milk of an empty dream,
This place is nowhere and nothing in between.
To the feather bed I lie in
To the feather bed I sleep and die in
There is still a place that is still
Even as they say,
The sleepers, the ones who dose you and sleep you,
All functionality and smiles and bares it
"Keep still, you stupid child.
(I was there)
Now be a good child.
(I was always there)
You can't fight forever".
You can't fight Forever.
(where everything goes)

Are you awake?
Are you asleep?
In the dreamtime
In the sleepy meantime
With starlight
And moonshine
While fireflies lazily inscribe this word in the night,
"ABADAKEDABRA"
Are you awake?
Are you asleep?
(dreaming)
In the dreamtime
In the sleepy meantime
With starlight
And moonshine
While fireflies lazily inscribe this word in the night,
"ABADAKEDABRA"
Are you awake?
Are you asleep?
