and i hate that walk.

it feels like a runway, or the last part of the Log Ride at Six Flags when you waited in line for an hour, and the line is longer now since you've been on the ride, and it's 100 degrees at least but you know yer gonna get back in line anyway...

and i so want to stay in that space of confidence and light that i feel in the first ten minutes or so when i first see you, or when i'm on my way,
that spark of causality and common ground of half-laughs and holoboundaries
before i hit that desert of causeway

i cross tea to get to you

and in that walk i run a gamut -
a scale of minor-note footsteps and undercolours paint the path from the wall of thin souls congregated at your dead-sand doors to the equalizer of your half-smile
underwhelmed, demi-joyed
resetting my treble, bringing me into mid-range from the bass i live in
rumblecrumble
and those first moments are in my veins like dragons and i feel like i'm in the world, for whatever reason
and i'd fain stay that man, yeah
instead of the old fool i feel like in the five minutes before i leave


"Delirium" ( demo) - Starhead





we finished The Album tonight. "Escadrille" is now out of our hands, and in the hands and ears of the Mixer and engineers to master. This song will be the 'secret track' on the first 100 pressings, i think. It's supposed t'be a little sloppy...


Praise Jah.
