The Rake 05:13
You found a home A settled land of light Our traditions, our times As you kiss her right I’m back to finding I’m back to finding Regret’s a fool’s errand Unbeknownst to me Hulking for such love Despite it’s availability I’m back to finding I’m back to finding A rake I must seem As to in-the-pink views Was it I who did not allow Intimacy imbued I’m back to finding I’m back to finding A shut in, a warhead Ample in blow and bite Too tough and sour mouthed To melt in maudlin light I’m back to finding Or was it you all along? A rift in idyllic wood Staying put for harvest’s song Crop was tried for all it’s good I’m back to finding (what’s in a home/what makes a home) Back to finding (what’s in a home/what makes a home) Perhaps it was the hour Eternalizing a confounded us A river with no junction Crossings shorn of trusts I’m back to finding

If memory does Shift with right cause What is my sense of touching How can one fiend Wipe something so clean As my own sense of touching You consider how deep The sick within in you eats Into my own sense of touching What makes it true A skulk with the claim to My own sense of body Like a fox puffs its musk As if the vixen sees as dusk Have you any sense of touching Have you any sense of touching Have you any sense of touching How dare you take my sense of touching Have you sense of touching How dare you take my sense of touching I only dare to move forward But I am too frightened by the task Cause he took my sense of touching A man can be a monster Yet we turn as if it only once occurred Yet he took my sense of touching Yes he took my sense of touching In this paradox of strength Who owns it me or you I tumble out of view And so far away from love And lonesome is now as it was before Even easier to shut the door When I have no sense of When I have no sense of Touching

Infinite loop Circling Circling back Back And now it seems I call for you No future perfect I see The father of a brilliant child And as the sadness And regret swim with me The flow is heavy The stroke upstream And yet a hope for your happiness is there too Returning to The letting go Of you Infinite Infinite Yeah I call out for you …..

Given free will but within certain limitations I cannot will myself to limitless mutations I cannot know what I would be if I were not me I can only guess me So when I say that I know me, how can I know that? What kind of spider understands arachnophobia? I have my senses and my sense of having senses Do I guide them? Or they me? The weight of dust exceeds the weight of settled objects What can it mean, such gravity without a centre? Is there freedom to un-be? Is there freedom from will-to-be? Sheer momentum makes us act this way or that way We just invent or just assume a motivation I would disperse, be disconnected. Is this possible? What are soldiers without a foe? Be in the air, but not be air, be in the no air Be on the loose, neither compacted nor suspended Neither born nor left to die Had I been free, I could have chosen not to be me Demented forces push me madly round a treadmill Demented forces push me madly round a treadmill Let me off please, I am so tired Let me off please, I am so very tired

I wanted to make something beautiful All the while shying away from beautiful I wanted to make something beautiful But it’s ugly mirrored me I danced a dolphin dance, a dolphin dance Memorized a memory I danced a dolphin dance, a dolphin dance But the memory caught up with me Mirroring mirroring Memory Mirror me mirror me
