lyrics

His head has gravitated
to the floor, a heavy weight of whispers
utterly absorbent to blue melody.
Feet apart, legs arc bent,
stretch forward and pick
up the split riff of séance sound
bleatin’ without the spirit-devil stealin’
the soul stirrin’ on a hum of rhythm.

In the blistered Tao
I heard his brass speak muted silence
until it got completely in my way.
It wasn’t loud and clear,
in fact barely in my ear;
the sentence that sentenced me
was like a swift spear passin’ through
the drum to pin a pause in thin air.

A way too Silent Way,
spoken words pronounced his blowin’,
knowin’ dust gathered in the
black vinylgroove label
spinnin’ red Columbia.
There are no prayers to chant
and mutter under breath; repeatedly
too hard a hiss to hear out loud.

This is about time travel,
about the way a lacquered trumpet
journeys into the soul of song.
Deep into each fold of love
pumps a red beat of blood
carrying us away, way into the
dark night of ourselves; repeatedly
that voice glistenin’ whispers.
