The Truth About Axes by Francois Cormier published on 2022-09-28T01:31:57Z Still processing my father's loss, and struggling to put fingers to keys of late. But I know that I need to push through this wail and return to the you-n-i-verse eventually. He'd want it that way. *************** LYRICS The Truth about axes is they smash through the frays of the eyes and the neighs, chunk rough trunks in their ways, but harvest vines and scythed hays are immune somehow And then my father died The thing about truths is they burst veins with their use as they bump and they bruise debase and abuse while made-up monks gussy down for pastel plaster plays, giddy-thrup and are amused somehow As they watch my father die To axe about things that make wishes with rings grains of sooth waxed to wings whether leather or feather they weather the soul with the truths that they bring sun-drunk lay in their daze flippant, mince with loose ways and flap lips like goosed fools While my father dies Genre Hunting My Wight Wail Comment by Jess Johnson very emotionally charged, you sir are a wonderful wordsmith and, unfortunately our inspiration must come from the worst times in our lives, but come it does and like the old saying goes, better out than in.

I don't know how we process loss and pain. I suppose "time" does it for us. But I also know that making things can help. Expressive things like what you have done here. Please keep doing it. This music is helping me, too. 2022-09-29T13:51:36Z Comment by kensuke kotori Very cool! 2022-09-29T06:35:57Z
