cormorant - funambulist lyrics
none speak of the pious in history:
notre dame conquered by a poète maudit.
beyond france’s gendarmes and butchery
rose my twin-eyed concrete babel staring
down the gods.
stir their hearts;
men applaud
crime as art.
violent birth.
pile driver lancers
pierce the earth
and bleed the clouds.
(walk on its veins).
steel and gl-ss.
the propane dancers
wrap this m-ss
in burning shrouds.
(forest of cranes).
new york, i adopt this child.
flight over the ocean,
mind as vine to stone
on a tower.
sleight of foot in motion,
twined around a throne.
i count and count the hours.
alea jacta est.
wire.
a workman’s attire.
the years we conspired
finally bear fruit
this august
mo(u)rn
a nation forlorn,
its emperor sh-rn
of august suit
by modest
blades.
as i walk he fades.
crate:
five hundred pound weight.
whisked up the freight
to south level
one zero
fo(u)r
the nightw-tchman’s snore,
my skull on the floor,
sold to the devil
for heroes’
deeds.
to the skies i lead.
bowman draws the string.
ropes and cable…
…cling stowaway to the arrow’s flight;
at missile’s point, north and south unite.
cordina, clamp, cavaletti, knot…
at backbreaking dawn, the wires pull taut.
rope still sways.
winds will rage.
heart ablaze,
i wage
war
on fate.
fear devoid,
lungs inflate,
tempt the void:
the first step.
le néant.
vos chants, vos cris, je les entends.
a chaque pas, les nuages s’adoucissent.
je danse. elégance.
je me permets un sourire:
si je meurs, quelle belle mort!
avec les dieux à mes pieds.
i wave, i sit, i rest, i dream.
speak to birds
words of calm.
psalms of faith
swathe no auspice
wreaked by siren howls.
uproar from the lowland:
the rattle of lawmen’s chains.
the lords of the northland
cast me to the plains
a mortal man.
the last step.
nona, spin your thread.
join it to the sun,
so i may walk.
morta, rouse your dead.
tell them of the sun,
for with me they walk.
