lyrics

The twinkling flute of the mind
The certainty
Some otherworldly administrator has their finger on the pulse
But still the pipe splinters in her mouth
The world I want would be celestial, wet.

All Limbs next to the window in the terminal
We’re both watching my Business cherry popping, bored.
It’s blocking the doorway.
Normally I like piglets, but not this time

From up in the air I can see the crop circles, the shame groundswell

I fantasised that I had tragic fading connections pluming behind the plane like chemtrails
Tiny CGI whisps streaming from my heart, static in the air long enough to be seen

“Saved” by antihistamines and blank with dirty shoes that don’t touch the ground
‘Impossible to trace’ leads to ‘am I ever anywhere?’

Waiting in pigeon pose to see the Spanish Dancer,
Reminiscing on decades of pied piper responsibility.
Pied piper for the caterpillars.
Pied piper for the twinkly.

Fortunately the Guru harmonium made its way to York
Possibly even New York, or even the unattainable queer horizon
Helping it vibrate

Throwing bog laps around the cappuccino strip.
A beautiful fish is on board.
‘The head needs cleaning today’ remarks Anna,
The shiny red ones clean themselves, but they are ugly.

There is only beauty in reaching,
Only ever beauty in fading in and out
twinkling
