Lyrics / copyright jo richter: a week before her disappearance the god convinced him not to go looking and since she has shown up everywhere even in flowers or cracks in the street he did stop looking but he can‘t stop seeing the cheek of the sun the belly of the moon the brow of the street-lamp the mouth of the ridge ever since the gods have split our rounded selves to make our halved halves more eager to offer and to prostrate before their altars, plato said, we have been subject to the lure of fulfillment to attraction, suggestion, projection, pareidolia the voice in the chatter the smile in the branches the smell of the meadows the thoughts of the birds it was about twelve thousand years ago, another philosopher said, that we swapped synergy for energy, symbiosis for the notion of freedom belonging for yearning, compassion for passion and senses that perceive for senses that create the song arouses the idea lays out the perfume seduces the commodity is longed for doctors tell him he suffers from trichotillomania as tufts of hair compile in his hands, but he knows better for where there was life and encounter, there now is the void of the unknown, the shapeless nausea of existential threat only comforted by fits of pareidolia the gnarly root of the tree the grin on the face of the jackal the polka dots clothing the jester the lack of her presence wherever he goes Genre poetry soundscape Comment by Mystic Tape Deck Love this! 2022-07-26T18:18:58Z Comment by henry koek intense fine work , laugh the changing of your voice 2022-07-26T08:26:53Z Comment by Toggle The Muse very creative and immersive, well written. 2022-07-26T06:38:53Z Comment by Re-Evolution Cafe' Orchestra Shades of Kafka and Burroughs! 2022-06-27T17:42:37Z Comment by Dror Elimelech Very good 2022-06-26T18:50:05Z Comment by STONERJAZZ Amazing bit of Magic going on! i particularly like the stanza describing what we swapped.
