Some Primitive and Turbulent Age of Transition
[A]dept
Halnya Andri:
Strip bars, just tears in the fabric
Cars spit vile alchemy, caught in the ratchet
Faggots, with caveats of baggage
Tagging windows, with awful tangents
Static languishing, digital tears
Post-Coital Memberanes, deathly stares
Waiting for the other shoe to drop, only to find out it was the chair
Hanging from the telephone lines, tongues of air forces, screaming who fucking cares
If the emperor has no clothes imagine what the peasants wear
Emaciated flesh, the mortal remnants
Entangled, in the wires of society, just to be unplugged in seconds
It's only times nature, for us to neglect it
Radical calisthenics, stretching optimism
Into fantasy, drowning in the desert
I remember, when the days fell in wells of hours
Cowering over a bottle, thought escape could being me power
But the sluggish retreat, just left a coward
Soured all serotonin, eroding on their tower
Everything is behind me, and ahead of me
Ephemeral body, alluding symmetry
Soul Erosion, blinded by pedigree
Amagdyla injected by pyramid schemes
My cerebellum, is a jet stream, deafing propulsion
Can't find balance in emotions
Standing on the scale, hoping I'm not noticed
Caloric disparity, clarity under quotient
I repeat, the same damn lines
Without food for thought, of who I quoted
Solipsistic pictures, in the moments of grief
Silence lept from the balcony, palpably beat
Catastrophic failure, perilous peaks
Corrosive weeks, jaded months, disappearing years
Tears of red wine, hedonistic mimes
Passionate decline, aged so indelicately
Jesters boiled for a Royal's delicacy
Inscurtibly corrupt as we toil
Coiled, like ashen addiction effigies
Scribbled headlines, information overwhelming me
Am I at one with entropy, just foolish memory
I thought torture left me empty
But the truth is I felt everything
cut coffee, cuticle hell
cough cautious, in cubicle shell
counter processing, a fuming gazelle
caught fucking, thought juggling
tempered temple dwells
dismembering self, misremembering self
carnophage pantheon, Calypso rebelled
rebel in the delicate, irrelevant epithets
pestilence evident, through little threats
flexing my head, until my heart explodes
discharged by the honor rolls, the story goes
she let the carnal drone, parcel bomb explodes
cardamon and garlic gloves, gum illusive
intrusive thoughts, in bed with my sweat
embedded movement, payment to debt
at odds, just a buck 75, cult 45 and a strangers demise
unquantized drums and crippling anxiety
a fear of space and lack thereof
patchwork gloves, boxing slugs, neurotic love
despondent goddess shrugged
mortified of basking out and terrified of shrinking in
a shrieking sin, beneath suspicious grins
i cannot live my life in a cage
i cannot live my life in field
yield, to my dysfunction
flourishing neurons, still unaltered
flower through the bars, pain has started
beauty has started, run too fast to watch
ITSD:
Curse of Akkad
Extinction burst by legalism and law
On regal stone canalboat towpaths bitter water flowed
Bleary dial tone, every disconnected phone floats
Wild goats, mountain scorps got the city groanin’
Let the locusts soar
Heat warps as a war path, it’ll do
For you, boo? As shown, it’ll suffice
Naram-Sin’s throne crumbles under rising food prices
Left to my own devices?
Might synthesize something righteous
Maybe chemical, maybe in slices
Maybe theoretical, it’s a new epoch
Oh, you must be joking
You really thought you’d win in Iraq?
Came home choking on stolen soil
Concerto Bach, now by Coil
Constant shallowness leads to evil?
Maybe just despondent paralysis, alp foil
Weaving through hostages, boils popped
Remote viewing, image cropped
I’m just talking, let’s stop and refocus
As above, so below’s the adage
Am I languishing or do you need to watch your language?
Whatever’s whatever, the banquet’s neverending
Blanket with holes in it
I stay wending
Pressed send, looking for rapport not pity
Same color as croutons
He couldn’t walk anymore
So I dragged my futon out onto the living room floor
