1. HALOGEN BULB

Earth bulge. Tenuous burgeoning.
Man's grip slips like the waning warble of an autumn sparrow.
Lists in triads justify means.
The mental cocoon ruptures and light erupts.
It chases and raises the shadowed mire of restless longing.
Circuits blister and click.
Branches rattle and crack.
Skull shudders.
Moon dies.
Mental cocoon ruptures and light erupts.


2. AMBER MOTE

Murmurs. Failures.
White wall fissure separates the conscious mind as light abates.
An ecstasy bright burst swallows the surroundings.
An amber mote in the black vault.
"death is to lose the earth you know: for greater knowing.
to lose the life you have for greater life, to leave the friends you love,
for greater loving. To find a land more kind than home, more large than Earth"
I wake from this fever. All is false.


3. BARB AND SAP

To claim: of yours, of mine, the same.
To grasp. To drink from life's boiling spring.
Thistled fingers warm and bend,
calling your children home hungry.
Baited aurum and cocked lilly eyed lust.
Perched like a jaundiced vulture, wings spread in vain
for anything to clutch. Bones of contention.
To drink, with blistered lips.
To grasp, in hands of barb and sap.
Your greed, it sticks to your bones.
It sinks to your marrow and calls you home.


4. OVEN (MELVINS COVER)

I coulda swore I gave my wedding ring to you.
Among the chewing gears you taunt me tear.
Elements are still alive to shake from ear to ear.
Pez are gonna let it slide, gonna burn what cotton decides are apelee.
My main oven drive, he took from under what's come over me.
