Parenthetical Thrum
Feign Thing
I taste your breath in the water Your winds are poison on my tongue You wade these creeks like you wanna Bury my face in the sun An I'll be just like you wanted Mute, sutures in my lungs But you won't ever find me, stunning This parenthetical thrum Cause you don't hide like me honey Not a place left to run Cause you don't hide like me honey And I know how to hunt And I know how to hunt Come out my way Let me show you where to lay your head Come out my baby Let me find my spade while you play While you play dead I want you dead girl I want you tongue I want it better girl I want your crumbs

Smiling If
Feign Thing
In the shape of my ribs In the nave of my crib I dissent I dissent Useless, Useless Before I shape the bend I'd collide with my ends I feign it And I don't repent Useless, Useless Tame Still You're useless

There's Someone in the House
Feign Thing
I see it change I see it change In the mirror I see it change I see it change From blood red to grey I see it stain I see it stay shaped in your name I panic in your fangs I buck Then I break I see it pray I see it say in my own tongue Break my maw Make me strange Now I feel a pain I feel a phantom pain shoot through my hip Shoot through you hand Up to my navel Again and again I hear it stray Now I hear it say I'll see you sometime We'll make each other rain Change me Change me

I Went Home and Nobody There Knew You
Feign Thing
There’s a certain agony to waiting, On pain or rust. Cold or death. As if growing pains were so true, I’d believe the feeling to be a-like. I suffer from a particular waiting, A vision, like a vein in my hands. Oh sturdied, enigmatic thing! A voice spoken by all things, A piece of the dark in every corner, Tucked in every envelope, Dusted under your finger nails. It screams, and it whispers. Oh true, insufferable thing! A constant reverberation, An honest noise. Foretold, or premised, felt, known, This pain exists because I already have seen it. Our future is a blind thing Oh pernicious, didactic thing! A bleak detonation, harboring a single sovereign tone, And I am its apostle. The Hierophant’s reflection. Tell me, when the earth longs for winter What will its insects do. When there is no longer a cold torpor To let down their wings, To lull and lullaby them into bliss, What will they make of this apocalypse? What of my bald faced hornet, A true wasp doomed by its mongering name. That first winter, When their queens borough and abandon, When there is No safety in old oblivion, what will they become? Like poison, I bite at my limbs I destroy them Devour and adorn it And yet I live like poison Like poison, I bite at my limbs I destroy them Devour and adore it And yet I live like poison Oh Praise this consuming thing A delusion nested in a delusion Prophecy written into itself Ouroboros or autobiography There is no way to recreate the self in No defense from this parasitism To know is to devour To act is to create is to become. And Such leeches are not equal. Might these wasps become me in my sleep Id hope their boogeyman becomes them too. Oh Annihilation, solemn thing. I will become something again Bending light apparatus Show me somethin that matters Hereby or there gone, It all gets Raptured Fermented fruit and wheat pastures An ovipositor or apples Becoming what your after Wanting, craving Raptures I don't see the point in this shit The conceit was banking now its whether or not farmers exist The id, the pain of knowing it becomes what it is Another fable for the abyss The conceit was the parasite/paradise But I cant remember witch parasite it is

Life is a terrid thing and to defend itself from that terrid oblivion, humankind has filled this world with its delusions. These stories have been our salvation. Art, ideology, the very conception of creation itself, these are tools to surviving the social conscience, the tools of change. Though this salvation is not the whole story, these tools, these human things have been poisoned, and a certain few of them have ceased, totally in their mechanism.

Aside from the knowns of materialism, past capitalistic pains and wants, a thing, this “thing” is not an object but an Id. It is a human “mechanism” crafted through conscious and kind. Once known, this human thing replicates, populating like a parasite in our minds. It reproduces within the mind undetected, evolving and erupting from our mouths…changing the world around us.

This human thing is (or was) of neutral consequence. Hope and love, violence and vitriol, and all that remains thereafter, are human things.
Honest things. Love bends our wills and our choices towards collective creation, mutual benefaction. Whereas violence shifts our ideals, sewing thoughts of freedom and control rampantly in our minds.

With time endless that corruption evolved in things. Spoiled, free of genealogical difference, the thing began to produce itself solely. Clones of clones, ideological inbreeding. This thing seeks only to reproduce the conditions of its own inception, this, being the one precondition to doom. A feign thing, power begetting power, money worth less than its debt, the simulacrum, the great machine. A feign thing has seeped into all that humankind has ever touched, and it burns my skin to bear it.
