lyrics

This one’s about an editor with dead metaphor magnetic ears//sparks in your eyes and faces in tar. There’s no sympathetic magic: no nebulous zigzagged spectral antacid//for redacted eyes of gold. Everything is a yes or no question. She cooked up some crowsnest spied borrowed brand new plans for tonight. One fire burns out another; youth is a scam. I told you ‘bout the sympathetic magic. The moon’s pull ritual, killer whale pod ascension. Whispered fist and screaming heart. I’ve actually thrown lyrics into the ocean not sure what I was hoping would happen. A light clicks on: a long dead luminary. A graveyard shift in your gradeschool library. These hallways always make me dream of ’96 Schoolastic halloween.
