about

invocation track

i remember playing the MIDI harp on my laptop keyboard and that's it
oh my god, i just realized i also say harp in the lyrics wtfff i'm so behind

lyrics

Mrs. Jones' harp breaks flag fields
magnetic, gnashing fertility ritual.
impossible stairs, lack of resources
zigzag around the crucifixes.

cornhusk braids,
lambs like copper --
we're having a house party
for the chimney corpses.

pluck throat like magic rope
from and into no light and lungs.
slipping and coiled,
my breath's the script of a vanishing,
ancient hypocrite algebra.

oh shudder when call returns,
Joseph of blood --
and do not totally inhale the barnyard.
stench climbs breath to stench roofbeams,
transposes staves of shepherds
like angel orgies.

my voice is like a wax car,
it melts as it drives along.
bounced between Angles and throat
it dies out and cools on a silver plate.
