Old God's tongue less
less today
old God's tongue left
yesterday
on my shoulder
your face will be
and I will make you
a part of me
I am waiting
for you to come
but keep your distance
I'm not your home

You were golden
I am weak
and for the first few
what looked dead was asleep
glimmers of justice
spray down from my arms
but nothing can change the world of ways
that you're still my son

If you go
I'll follow
if you go
I'll follow
if you go
I'll follow
if it worked
I'd be gone
the church in me crumbled
the puppies all dead
the nations destroyed
your cities of love wiped out
a vacuous space
oceanic weight
dust, shit and weight
I'm left with

Marion, am I like you?
fingers raw and bitten
I have heard the things you'd do
to get meat for the children
your husband is watching the fires
he is dressed up to the nines
off to work in his best suit
he is tending to their wives
Marian, what would you do?
held your stories close
with me in your arms and your hands inky blue
a life I never will now
soldier, Dutchman, a nanny, a nurse
and spaces in between
filled with the glass and the knives that I keep
things you left for me
with my ear to the ground
oh this damp English soil
in the flicker
of a flame
I ask you to come
come
come to me
come in dreams
I ride the bus
and his dark eyes arch
as he licks at my insides

I held my Father's hand
he remains
I held my lovers face
he remains
I held in me many things that are gone
I took

8. |

Feet rooted together
in pure beginnings
wrists tied together
and tangled by lifelines
lifelong
and to the sound
of tiny organs spitting out the sun
Crushed under this and handing it over
down on arms
open knees
you wear your guts on the outside
just like me
pushed to edges
walking lines
crushed under this
and I will burn you to the ground when I leave
for all the things you're not against
you'll feel the gaping beside
in the morning light
And I
will burn you
to the ground
when I leave
and I
will burn you
to the ground
when I leave
and I
will burn you
to the ground
when I leave
and I
will
burn you clean

One part of the
West Country band Thought Forms for literally half her lifetime, this project has always existed in parallel.
If until now it has been an outlet for solitary improvisations / explorations of the tight spaces between fragility & violence, the 2021 album 'EDEIDA' is ready to break them open.
