Told you I’d make the Monday cut! (Dedicated to colin&chris frangicetto ;) )

SOLIDARITY

I can’t always find the words
They flee from me–WILD
I chase after them–MAD
Hunting for an adjective I can
Catch, I can grab
To convey the light
I see it in you.
SOLIDARITY.
HEAVY as silence
SHARP as eyes
THICK as smoke
and
permanent.
No other words will do
They are not sized to
FIT.
I taste them cold in my mouth
and I spit each vowel out
Round and wrong
I collect the consonants
on my
Tongue
We sound off together
Chasing the setting sun.

Here’s another very very low-fi recording for this week (I get the computer back with nicer recording capabilities this week). Hope you like it, low-fi and all.  It’s called ‘He Is Gone Now”

HE IS GONE NOW

My bed is quiet now
An expanse of hungry sheets
With no lusts to feed
He is gone now
The flame flutters at its end
The red digits of the clock
do not blink
My shadows twist now
I can hear the music downstairs now
The cats in the courtyard
The hum of the computer
I can hear my thoughts
And their relentless echo
He is gone now
And my world is inverted
The flame is gone now
Sizzled in its own melt.

Who knew I’d be releasing yet ANOTHER version of “Gray” for old song Friday? Well, I didn’t.  But then Mr. Alex Zelenka posted something on Facebook reminding me of this remix he did of “Gray” last year and I was like… “Oh my god, I forgot about this! This remix is so perfect! For, you know, a late night dance party!”.  And in the having-fun-with-music sense, I like this version better than my original.  So check out what DJ Alex Zelenka out of Chicago did with this song.  If you like it, stay tuned!  We’re discussing doing some more remixes. 

Also, you can download it from his SoundCloud here.
