When the things that we have loved
change into the moment of waking
and grasping at the night not remembered,
When we ourselves are this thing
expanded but hardened
a bed of mollusks
an oyster garden,
When you are no longer the seedling
but the surface onto which new things grow
A shipwreck beneath the waves
teeming but having lost its intention,
I pray to harbor life somehow.
I pray to harbor life somehow.
Lord, make us a shipwreck.
Let there be ground at last
one way or another
and life we never planned.

Do you remember when there was a hell
and a hook for our keys so we knew where they were?
I have watched you
put fruit to your lips while only moths flew out,
our bellies still empty.
Is this the end?
Lodged between teeth
or killed in a corner dice game?
May it not be like this.
May it not be like this.
I’ve watched the others weave elegant cloaks,
carry back profound epilogues,
but my bricks remain scattered at my feet
I can build no edifice.
I have tried my hand at grace but have none left.
I find myself alone in an empty room
and there is only
"May it not be like this"
"May it not be like this"
Not like this.
Not like this.
Not like this.

Moving like the distance between two points.
Cruel like the distance between two points.
Impartial like the distance between two points.
We raise arms against the distance between two points.
We deny the distance between two points.
Our hands claw at the distance between two points.
Our clothes are rent by the distance between two points.
Futile like the distance between two points.
Searing like the distance between two points.
Bent down by the distance between two points.
My love and the distance between two points.
My self and the distance between two points
Let go her voice in the river.
Let go the weight in the river.
Let go the need in the river.
Let go these hands
that cannot hold
that cannot hold
the distance between two points.

I put my hands upon the plywood
and roll myself into the furnace's mouth.
Now that I am ashes
can you help to scatter me
somewhere beyond this?
I no longer understand
this house I haunt.
Shouldn’t this have burned?
I no longer understand.
After the fires and floods,
I am what remains.
Gather me so I am not lost.
Scatter me so I am not lost.
The whole world with me
huddles indoors,
Forgets to wind the clocks,
Makes the bed, then doesn’t.
Can’t remember where they put the vital things.
Makes systems to remember.
Our love is piled high in public places
because there is no room to bury it.
We forget to wind the clocks
and bury it one way or another.
Now it is a question of time
and how to spend it.
I do not want a return
to the rule of blood and hunger
When we lived beneath the fists of a larger ape
Who still lurks about the camps at night
Whose shadow
Haunts but no longer understands.
And yet
But surely…
Something has been lost.
And yet
But surely
Someplace
Someplace
Better
And yet...
There are red winged blackbirds
singing by the river
oblivious to the wastesite
cordoned off in yellow.
I have never seen them before in this field
which had once itself been ash
where now they sing out their claims.
They sing out:
"There is
nowhere better
nowhere better
nowhere better
than this
than this"
Gather yourselves
We are not lost
We are what remains
We are what remains
Forward and
Backwards again
They dive

Recording and mixing mostly in their homes, the trio has total freedom in the studio, often trading instruments and experimenting with unconventional instruments such as pitch shifted harmonica, marxophone, prepared piano, kazoo, and unloved vintage drum machines. ... more
