Canto de enramada
01:19
|
|||
|
Fuera de si, se adentró en el cuerpo de las dos.
Sarmiento envenenado
Y la acequia ahoga la vid
Peste negra en la raíz.
Simiente que se ha echado a perder.

A temple by the river
05:19
|

|
My body is a temple by the river, a crypt of flesh turned to stone.
A gate wide open, a safeguard to the heavens.
Trodden, sheltering heart.
A granary: all husk, all animal feed.
A shallow urn overflowing
With bile and honey, embalming pride
green and glowing, marrow and wine
With penitent, flaming hearts
over the fields sowed with salt
My flowing body drinks from the marshes and the solace of song
And the grazing animals feed on the roots below the mud in my banks
My flowing body between the reeds that drone the chanters of men
And my body is not enough, my body is not enough
My body by the temple is a river, a house of red clay and straw

|
The sky splits like spoilt milk
while all rests asleep
an eye always open
uprooted antiques
But inside me there's a crack
where the light can never reach
Inside me flows a vein of molten ore gone bitter
Miscarried,
lies on the floor
Shame, creeps, red
New flesh torn
And this self
discarnate
I do not recognise
No more
No more
The sky wakes to an untouched meal.

Burial of the patriarchs
04:31
|
|||
|
Ringless left and burdened right.
One steers the oar. One stokes the fire.
Word and flame incarnate. A heavy crown.
A mouth to feed. A dog to guard the house.
Shame spins the wheel. Swollen breasts heavy with greed.
In The Holy Sisterhood of Grief
Leave these weaving hands, untamed, to bury all your dead
To pour the oil that fuels the lantern.
To illuminate a path untrodden.
Child bound in the cradle, brine boils in the hearth.
Crimson robed and starved, holds the distaff
Crimson robed and marked for sacrifice

Siphonophores
05:21
|
|||
|
I’ll house a pack of nesting beasts open and honest in my bed
All arms and breath and swirling shores
And opium eyelids drop
Like curtain calls
Mouths filled with grace, hands clenching flesh
To feed you all my pain.
Skin breaks like lace, so bleached, in shreds
like seaweed drifting looms
Translucent bones
A draining bathtub
A mirrorlike lake
To wash our bodies
To soil our face
|
||||
6. |
Despeñaperros
09:41
|
|||
|
A trail of pelts and broken bones
And friendships with the drowning
Swallows diving in a pool of sorrow
Imperfect to the eyes of god
And through these walls turned sinew and skin all cracked like dawn
Under the weight of their expectations
Naked and open
Milk turns to earth in my breast
and my shoulder blades
are tectonic plates
swimming away
from my spine
unbraced
A choir of angels: featherless, vengeful
descending like a wake
descending
In circles
|

7. |
O rubor
01:18
|
|||
|
O rubor sanguinis,
qui de excelso illo fluxisti
tu flos es quem hyems de flatu serpentis
numquam lesit.
|
||||
8. |
Fiat lux
04:04
|
|||
|
Blood of the father
Flows through the son
Drips through the fingers, viscous and warm
Furrows be open. Wide for his seed
White sheets unfurling
In the balcony.
Eyes of the child.
Violet smears.
She closed the door.
I disappeared.
Keyhole distorts the light
Beast of burden rise
Kindred bodies dissolve
Dehooved and mute in the barn
|

Kwisatz Haderach
05:46
|
|||
|
One thousand lives filtered you through porous flesh and still placentas.
Pearlescent brow
Primordial crown of stars dissevered, vast and verdant
Breeder of chance
