Disarray!

I'm coming back
and I can't wait
to see your face
in the flesh now
let me take
a spinning plate
carry some weight
let me cultivate
When you've been lonely for as long as I have
you see that fate
is a hiding place
for those of faith
to extricate
but I'm coming back
to my place
to my place
I'm coming back
But also I'm just
kind of celebrating
the disarray
in a way
it's not going away
maybe that's fate
after all
oh.
There's no time for dismay
Embrace the disarray.

Uncanny Valley

September
and into this uncanny valley
of brightness we will start once more
I guess
Never the wiser never the less
Sore trembling feathers
soar, colourful decay and petrichor
One fine day after another
Never the wiser never the less
Uneven optimism - dogs on fate’s kitchen floor -
head out into the rain once more
Even though all the colours
have run on all our truths
There is still beauty to come through
Love is the liminality
September
and into this uncanny valley
of brightness
we are on our way I guess
Never the wiser never the less
And there’s rainbows on the way home,
goldfinches at the aerodrome,
and the love was real at least
Never the wiser, love is the feast
(Uneven optimism - dogs on fate’s kitchen floor -
head out into the rain once more
Even though all the colours
have run on all our truths
There is still beauty to come through)
Love is the liminality

You never send me a postcard
You never send me a word
You never tell me how you are
If you seen any interesting birds
You never tell me you heard me
You never tell me you heard
I read a passage in your name
When i stood up in church
I take my blessings on the internet now

Hope/Cope
06:17

Straightening your things
looking for jesus in the paperwork
by a crystal clear stream of bad ideas
Drying out your wings,
a tired and lonesome cormorant,
cruciform in a corner stall
staying local
And all the soap in all the world
can’t clean the slate now oh no
there’s only really hope and coping all the time
so have another one,
text everyone you know
I love you
Lightening the mood
going through screenshots of what used to be
a constant stream of love-flushed babbling
You don’t mean to be rude
but they’re pissing on your anecdotes
and all your quotes and classics
all are wasted
And all your friends and co-dependants
don’t drink here any more
at least you’ve still got hope & still got time
have you got someone
you got someone you can call?
I love you
Tightening the screws
drinking rusty nails on the broadway
The headlights pass like looping gutter sunsets
and oh the lines you used to use
about how cold was your favourite season
you’d cut your hair and clear the air
and move
And now autumn comes around much faster than it used to do
and there’s no reason why you can’t get this show back
on the road, bigger and brighter too
hope to see you soon
don’t wait too long
don’t wait too long
don’t hang around
don’t muck about
I love you
