Sirena
02:40
|
|||
Bright monster in the pale
A shining mirror
A sky in white veil
Rise up to see her
Knight comes on bended knee
A blinded seer
Ship moving over me
I disappear
Sirena de Zirahuen
A tower in the sun
Night moving goes
Nearing horizon
Rim overflows
Slow blood carry me
Through cold water
Voice out of ice floe
The sea, pursuer

Gold melts onto her skin
An offering glinting like open bone
He stands tall as a mast
Reaching through the dark
A hundred years' wait
She smells like flowers and rotting leaves
She's searching for the tallest trees
And she waits
Dig me into the dirt
Let my feet root into his
Marry me to a tree
Be forever free
Memory in our cells
And of our daughters and daughters to come
Branches trail down
Into our roots
Fingers strain out
We smell like flowers and rotting leaves
We're searching for the tallest trees
And we wait

Under the glass
Body pinioned out
Severed by the lens
Posed in suspended flight
Going somewhere soon
Pin me into
A history all about you
Find a silent room
Hang me on the wall
Watch me frozen still
Violence is your art
Please don’t leave me here
Sell me in pieces
Static in a frame
Sculpted by your method
Severed by the lens
Going somewhere soon

When I think of you
I see you sitting alone
Suffused in the light
Beacon in the night, free me
I carve you into the wall of my mind
Glory be to god
Millenia on your breath
Ascension in your death, queenly
I can't say who you were
I can only know who you loved
I'll write you into a place
Where you can rest in a chamber of stone
Woman freed from work of households
Virgin in a tomb
A room of her own
Carved out of stone, keep me
Holy counsel of men
Your word was sacred to power
But what did you lose
To be the empire's muse, bewitching
Saint Hildegard of Bingen
Teach me to pray
Caress me in the dark
A single naked spark, a sighing

Melusine
04:25
|
|||
A hound watches me from below
As I near your place by the flow
I fall, I am down
Melusine, deliver me
You will never own me
Rapid wanderer of the dark
Watery prism in a slant
In dream light or
Twilight or no light
Are mysteries
Threads in the streams
Tear me from my woven lines calcifying
Peer through to see you
Teased out
Bright snares about
Bright monsters of the sea and sky
Answer then vanish in the light
Doomed souls by
Hearth and home
Melusine, deliver me

Teresa
03:07
|
|||
Teresa and her brother left Avila
To find martyrdom in the sierra
Wide-eyed as a faun, guided by the drum of a nation
Redirected home
She walked guided by stories of children with God
Was it a falcon or a vulture above her
Wide-eyed as a faun, guided by the hate of a nation
Never really home
Here and there is born a Saint Teresa
Foundress of nothing but her own yearning
Goodness unattained, visions of unknown origins
Fiery heart with no kindling

Tanaquil
03:34
|
|||
I rise a figurant for a
Movement done alone
Bodiless arms hold me as I fall
Effluvium lurking at home
A man in blacktie out of my oven
Placating hand over mine
Softly he begs my silence
I scream as I see the signs
Made faun made colt made thoroughbred
Made monster of the sea
Tamara, Vera, Maria, Tanaquil
O Tanaquil
Jerome write to me I'm waiting here
For you on the shore
Safely apart, mirror hidden from me
Still finding what movement tore
O Faun, I call to you for your arrival
Come to me
Pathway to heaven, broken ladder
Floating away to the sea

Stella Maris
04:58
|
|||
Smoke made into water
Lifted up by a wire
Tell me where
Made dust made gray made air
Skin stretched into lightning
Shimmering over my body
You saw me there
Made just made gold made fair
Ghosts of women I'll never be
You can't have me
I turn to dust when you touch me
You are of me
Fearless under the camera
Wry and round in the cinema
Flickering there
Made light made cold made bare
Mantle of stars on her shoulders
Guiding away from the boulders
Show me where
Condense conspire compare
Sublimate into the skin
Becoming me
Missing places I've never been
Come back to me
