Bridge of Flowers

stumbling towards that bridge of flowers
oh save this night
stumbling towards that bridge of flowers
oh hold this night
so thin, so frail
stumbling
this night

A bird made of rhinestone, or a glass harp tuned to you
born on the horizon, cast in angora shell
so-called “allies” are snakes in the well
all the kingdom falling down
ashes to ashes, around and around
toil evil, evil crown
ashes to ashes, around and around
all their children, upside down
ashes to ashes, around and around
toil evil, evil crown

Satellite Love
03:41
|

satellite love, is this just a dream?
pixels form a dove on the computer screen
soon as they see my skin in pursuit of a sunday love
downloaded into memes digitized from above
pixelated nights staring into screens
back alley access codes neon coated dreams
satellite love from arbitrary boys
as soon as they see my form shiver into the void
these are the dreams that made
satellite love, is this just a dream?
pixels form a dove on the computer screen
satellite love, staring into screens
pixels form a dove neon coated dreams

Speak Through the Sky
05:18
|

dedicated to / created for
Palestinian paramedic Razan al-Najjar
who was murdered in Gaza in June 2018 ------
carry her away
speak through the sky
held her that night
everything she gave
kneeling by her, surrounding her, bowing by her
everything she gave
Karma committed a lapse in love

The man with the gun lifts a finger to his lips.
Was this happening? And why our village?
We were nothing to their death squads, my father told me.
We had nothing they wanted, no raw materials to mine
and I believed him
until one by one
we disappeared.*
time is graceless, nothing changes / faces changing, lightning rages
*lyrics from “The Three Known Tales of Hatim Muzumbo” by Alex Smith
