Seasick Wall of Circuits

Mother was a stranger
Drifting through the weeds
Days when the light sleeps
Waking up to thunder
flooding up the den
moss grows where the roads end
Silver moon in her hair and gnats in her teeth
With no pesticides within
Rotten wind i'll breathe you in
Blurry eyed and high up above her feet
Pack of dogs have snouts like laser beams
Long lost
Glued to their sleep
cheap on earth
Watch the bluefin tuna dodging the harpoon
Thoughts offline
Like an ill, seasick wall of circuits on your mind

If you survive nightmares on the hill
Sunburn and the plague
The doctors would be proud
Your soul and skin saved
Headless years of fire
Making ash of your barn
Muttering lies so blind
No war, no horns, no fission bombs
Just circles of the mind
Heard you were bleeding from the neck
Safe as your living cells protect
Twisted like atlas held the earth
Primordial dances at your birth
Rock the cradle at your birth
Feetless years of rain
Making slush of your wound
Shuddering eyes so blind
No fog, no light, no chosen ones
Just circles of the mind
Breathe and watch where your time froze
Over transistors and pines
Sail away in your medicine
A song alive in your mind
Bright reflections and flocks of birds
Masterpiece in your eyes
Fall asleep in the metal sea
Trees growing over the tide

The Habitat Below

Lift your dream from underwater
Soaking wet like ancient clutter
Fell in dead
They saved your earthly, infant soul
Now you're old
Clouded wars of danger
Highway dead, no more anger
Walking blighted land, soldier one
A flawless hybrid scramble
Metal sea, a fathom dismantled
The habitat below
Old devils haunted your picture
Ever since you framed your face
I warped the way you glow
The walls were not completed
The leaves were eating your feet
The masters of your kind
Birds live like kings in your photograph
Fools flying low
To smell the salted earth
Sleeping in reverse
