Keywords:Empty landscape
Clayey grey fragments of soil
Drought crawling up my feet
Standing here forever, like a statue made of stone
Memories long lost, nothing to feel
Waking up from a dream that’s not even yours
There’s a shadow at your feet |
You react
How alien did that movement feel
Like it’s not even yours |
You appear in your fingertips |
Oozing through them, flowing towards you
Running up your arm
You want to lift you |
Breaks out of your shoulder |
You touch his hand |
Breath out
A sigh, waiting for way too long |
Your hand resembles his hand |
A picture of the last time someone touched you
How was that
How does it make you feel |
He throws you away
You fall into a spiral slide |
Arriving into complete darkness you can’t see
But you can feel someone around you
On your right
On your left |
Voice drowns slowly |
They catch your hand
Music starts to play
It feels nice it’s soothing
It feels like home |
A touch on the head dipped in love |
You swing into space |
Push through a dark velvet curtain |
There’s a place that you know |
A childhood party, old friends look strange
Like a dream |
Mother’s high heels on your feet
Cockroaches crack
You hear them squeeze
And crack
And squeeze beneath your heel
It’s okay |
Left hand covered in blood
Bucket full of water |
But fuck it all it’s just a dream
Rip yourself out of the scene |
Kick in that purple door, it looks wooden but it’s not |
A giraffe afraid of height
That waxed a leg and really liked
That slippery feeling|
Someone pushes your knee you fall again
Through a tunnel |
Papers everywhere |
Clues and hints and keys
To the story of your own
You need to find them all |
And put it in your bag
In this grey and rather tall
Tunnel of falling back |
Spiral earthquake
Bursting headache |
Dive into pink velvet fields
On every inch of your skin
Caress the touch
Embrace proximity
Are you the sky, the velvety |
Shake a frog off your foot |
Off your shoulder |
Slide into a puddle of mud Splash
Cuddle around in it
Fall in love with it
Put your hand into it
Is it cold? Is it thick?
Play with it like a dog |
Pause. It’s all empty. |
Don’t hurt me
I can dance with you
See his body, feel his presence
Make eye contact, he’s dangerous |
But you’re attracted
He grabs your waist |
Push him away like you want him |
Kick a star off the sky
That’s all you can give him |
So you did but now you’re vulnerable|
Anger dancing in your hands |
Look at him |
Pink velvet fields suck you back in
So smooth
So soft you feel within |
Wake up on a train
There’s panic get off
Suddenly, you’re the tin man of Oz |
Movement slowly fading away
The arm, the head, the foot
Doesn’t work
It’s okay |
You’re a race car driving down to Miami
Curving through time nice and smoothly |
Rollercoaster ride in the dark
That point when the free-fall starts
And echoes away |
And you echo back
Into your fingertips
Tears burst into shoulders,
The chest, the back and it feels all right
It feels so easy |
A geyser breaks out underneath
And flows along your body |
You feel so strong and undefeatable
Ancient powers rent your flesh |
Transform into a phoenix bird
Golden wings –
Some also red,
Like blood, embarrassingly fresh |
Flying high |
Catching land and crawling away
Like a human |
The ambivalence of walking |
Not sure if this is how I’m supposed to do this
Can I fly with legs |
Exhale the phoenix |
Your hand will lead the way |
It takes over
It’s quick, it’s vibrant
It’s like the golden little thing in quidditch |
But then there’s someone who you forgot to tell
How much you want them to go to hell |
You’re just not strong enough, you can’t |
The landscape seems to disappear
Unspeakable gravity sucks you back |
Bullshit frozen on a concrete surface
Try explaining yourself |
There’s a better you that breaks out instead
What is she like |
Blue skinned cartoon avatar girl
From some beautiful, uncanny movie world |
She goes for it
She fights for you
She actually really fights you |
Wants to rip of her head
Your head
You’re a headache |
Let’s say she did
You’re thrown out of her head |
A long-legged fairy dancing on ice |
There’s a pendulum swinging
Among all dressed up mice |
Suddenly covered by thick pink velvet
It’s everywhere |
The someone is back
You could tell them to fuck off
So you finally do. |
A satisfying hurricane bursting through your body |
Put it in a box |
Feel the wind your movements cause |
It takes you to Broadway
It’s all jazzy and sparkling |
Try to steel the glamour hug it close, run away |
Remember the dark?
It surrounds you again |
Someone is there
On your right
On your left
They are moving away |
Follow the sound
Feel the fear of the unknown |
A second of stillness and pregnant silence |
Just a tin board swinging in the wind
A little girl bouncing around
But something’s weird |
The shadows are too big |
It’s the final battle you made it here
Like some crazy brutal videogame
You killed everyone on the way
But you’re not the hero you’re the ruthless creature,
You are the final enemy |
A frozen moment
Time standing still |
You turn into black velvet
You flow down the stairs |
You won the final battle
Against all of yourselves |
