lyrics

I stand in a house with a mirror at the center
and everything revolves around that in the winter.
Face after face
as the stockpile wastes
and the last leaves of autumn descend
into gray.
A procession of shadows
from some foreign meadow
creep over walls where the dimming light fades.
Painted in shades
which can never be followed
by a brush or
the eye
of a discerner of paint.

In making rotations,
slipping across corners
with smoke and reflection
and unbreaking order.
In still, and like hollow
pine trees in the dead of night,
still in the still
and the empty: thrusts life.

I do nothing in the corner
where my actions
are the structure
and its steady beams are guaranteed
to hold and last forever,
and these circling shapes
in a dark hallway
play within the forms
they're given,
but every one
for them, their fun
is all the same projection.

Carlton Heston Atlanta, Georgia

If you're reading this - Gods of the Dead is the good one. Listen to that first if you're going to listen to anything on here. It's actually pretty solid.

Atlanta Monsters' Ball is also nice.
