Flounder Fed 03:07
Getting better with the sun facing southern I’ve aligned my position again But she’s there like a star supernova And I’m blinded from where I began But here I am, Flounder fed within the group dynamic where I find my inevitable end Under the weather but my soul seeks better Like a new tune for me and you And it begins Getting better with the one thing missing I’m alive with the vision again And you’re there like a one tonne mega-bomb lighting up the way to my end And there I am

In a pile of leaves that fell from trees We congregate with hands on rakes And re-collect the consequence of time and space upon our fates With childish heart and grown-up hand We circle round the autumn ground From green to brown from green to brown From veins that pump to dust that clumps And all the days that led to now Are piled upon what came and gone What eyes shone bright what hands held tight In piles of days, in piles of days

Blue haired, jeans flared and askew Laced-up boots make me love you Pig-tailed, a fugue for the ages Sundress that writes all the pages Wide-eyed I follow behind you In time with hips that are fine-tuned Fat chance is odds I can warm to Slim hands and cold shoulder tattoo Long neck, a swan song to flatter Small bones that home anti-matter Immune, she glides through the ages In time with my heart that races Haiku she floats through the station Eyes closed in deep meditation My love, my love in vague dream We’ve never been so we always will be

Near and far, near and far, it takes you away, and there you are Go by foot, go by car, look up and brave the signs in the stars And know you know that directional pull Can`t hold you down or keep you from the world I could never be anything at the root other than me and you And the axle holds us in place we’ll never float off into space Till trees turn into ash and the ash takes shape Till the shapes explode in a flash and the flash is everything

Creta Kano 02:24
I woke up this morning to a body in my bed With back and hips like dunes of sand Underneath the loose-leaf sheets, lines crisscrossed the desert like a stark bikini tan The folded hands beneath her cheek Held her neck and shoulder firm Against the rise and fall encaged In ribs that surged and ebbed from curves The neat triangle held her fixed Within the soft coordinates That plotted out her thighs and knees Into the depths of my bed sheets But when I closed the book to sleep The sheets that held the figure eight Sunk into a prairie land Flat and dry devoid of weight

Libertine 02:37
I wanna live a life of devotion every second of every prodigal day High times that damage some major organs Play like my time is retrograde Don’t care if the palsy takes me as an old man Fast time slow mind suits me just fine Each night a gamble I take my spendthrift chance Embrace the title of libertine

about

This is the 13th album I've made. It follows up some of the issues from the last one, "Leaves From Trees I Can`t Recall." It comes after the longest haitus I have had in the past 6 years or so. I wrote, played everything* and produced it. Download and enjoy.

*Alan Leblanc begrudingly played his original composition "The Impossibility of Floating off into Space" on an out of tune electric in a crappy studio. It sounds ok to me though. He also drew the cover image. See all my other albums for more collaborations with Mr. Leblanc.
