Sparklehorse – Return to Me
I walked, and ghosts awoke me.
So very high a bridge beneath
my feet.
A man who jumped before
paused.
A girl engraving light
on slides behind glass.
They see the same sight.
They hear a similar score.
But different tones of thunder and brass.
A moment before.
Equivocal and opposite,
God’s Grandeur and the loss of it.
Open mechanical and golden gates.
First opened for the descent
four days late.

M83 – Facing That
Light letting fog pale blue and lavender hues reach my eyes and I comprehend with cones. A world too beautiful. I see plains before the time of names, before signs and invisible lines I went and vanquished.
On the tip of the sky, I know what I’ve got.
I left coffee rings on everything.
Where did these elbows grow?

Flying Lotus [feat. Laura Darlington] – Auntie’s Lock/Infinitum
Sometimes you can’t wade through,
and thoughts they carry you away.
Drop.
–
And you’re falling with the rain,
Impact back in bed again.
Awake.
Pause Pause
Grow Grow
Orange Orange
Stop Stop
–
And you’re back underneath.
Sometimes we ride the tide,
and sometimes we hide in the deep.
tied by vine sheets.
Heavy foghorn hair
skulking in the ocean green.
Perilous eyes seem tongue-
tied toes turning in trailing kelp.
Help knew no beginning.
–
Too long I’ve been sinking,
sinning in my dreams,
stinking up the seams of my sheets.
