Rising out of the ashes

squashed, washed out, and vapid deterioration
what is the point anyway?
why try?
the hills have rain tonight
piano keys and notes falling in waves
like water stars smiling down at me
the sky is dark and muddy
dark stained wood with plants on top
cats, a fucked up dog
the home is happy and peaceful
awash in music
solid mountain rock

old age, disease , death, and suffering
and it is the same
the moon shines on the water
the baby stares at it
the old lady wonders
if anything matters
photos show the changes we can't see
no good at all
look away or don't even look
the screen has a prisoner
you too, huh?

(can't believe what I know
what I saw on the damned news
goddamned psycho world)

and tells us the abominable
broken thoughts
no words
hide it from the kids
no one should know all this stuff
what good is it
no good at all

food in the fridge
no one to be, not competing with any of you
you win, ok?
my little stash is the smallest
and I really don't care
old age, disease and death
this moment

and then comes your turn
so do it with dignity and love
why not?

A model of a future house

wet foot rain drum, lean against the wall

Hozho and the wordless unknown

Fragment of a Sky

FRAGMENT OF A SKY                                        

White skies and the shadows that are left undone
The silent star is spinning, and she's sleeping with the old one
I see your hills of glory, bleeding out hate and blood
I am laying here inside the tree, dreaming and drowning in the free

It’s like strawblood to the fire, and the gods of the wavering sea

Nothing passes on that ain’t been here, and gone through life before me

So bring me a cup of full moon, and throw it down here on my floor

Yeah I’m standing in them light beams, there’s no darkness and there’s no door

Water the word my lover, with your red (swastika) kiss

And leave the temple of your head, to lay down with me in sweet bliss

Oh let me live here forever now, in this white cold virgin snow

With the queen of the damned, the sky and this old mountain road

CHORUS  

Yeah I’m a fragment of the sky and to you I testify 

I was born on stolen land, broken wings left dying in my hand

I’m a fragment of the sky and to you, this I testify 

I ain’t got nothing in this life, please accept these tears running from my eyes 

VERSE

Yeah I ride these shadows back here, from the river made of death

Into the cave I bring the light, back out of my old head
and its shining a ring like water, from the diamond inside my mind

And love I’m watching you all lonely, from this my eternal night

Nothing passes on that ain’t been here and gone right through the blues

So bring me your full moon and shine it here on my noose

Oh grotesque and putrid life, I am so sick of you

I’m gonna disappear like bliss, into this avalanche room

Yeah their selling wolf tickets, from pillar to post

And I’m shaking rattle bones, making sure you know my woes

Cause I keep seeing all these stars, there falling into the red

So I’m gonna raise up their devil, and feed him the host

CHORUS  

Yeah I’m a fragment of the sky and to you I testify 

I was born on stolen land, broken wings left dying in my hand

I’m a fragment of the sky and to you, this I testify

I ain’t got nothing in this life, please accept these tears running from my eyes

VERSE

I see a dead white bird, with cages on her skin

And I ask her is there any reason, for me to plug in

Flying in the long lost kitchen, of song and great joy

Is there any reason not to come back, and just do it all again?

Well they built these mighty cities, from feathers and coal           

Distinguished from the people, that kept them in their roles

So to this and to that, I’ll just give you my white bird

To answer like glass, and drop you in the dumbed out world

I water the word lover, and watch the green plants grow

Buy dirt for the raven, and dresses for the girls

I got pages of earth, and a colored medicine show

And all is wearing the whip of time, glowing down below

CHORUS  

Yeah I’m a fragment of the sky and to you I testify 

I was born on stolen land, broken wings left dying in my hand

I’m a fragment of the sky and to you, this I testify

I ain’t got nothing in this life, please accept these tears running from my eyes

VERSE

But your voice, it’s broken like a flaming sword                            

And the clouds, they are landing on your island of cats

And we chase the material, round the throne of the lord

And now only money talks, and holds down the bleeding horde

But love I’m here beside you, I am waiting in the night

If you ain’t living your dreams, time to call on the white bride

Please keep away the darkness, of their killing floor

And I pray that your lightness and vastness be always at my door

Well the trees are spinning the moon from the frame

And I can see myself playing inside this game

All the arrows go flying trying to kill out the sun

And the white bird is crying now for everyone

CHORUS  

Yeah I’m a fragment of the sky and to you I testify 

I was born on stolen land, broken wings left dying in my hand

I’m a fragment of the sky and to you, this I testify

I ain’t got nothing in this life, please accept these tears running from my eyes
