Unreal, Immaterial

Album: The Fooler (2023)

  • Building fleets of endless rows
    Of little treats made to sell in bottles
    Delicate and dedicated
    To a tee and predicated
    Ships in bottles,
    Broken glass in moon light
    Refracting, mottled and bright
    Unreal Immaterial

    Left your mirror on the table
    The entry lies pink marble and gilt
    Just like a sable,
    Reflections of reflections tilt
    Clicking down the arcing stairs
    Alabaster arms,
    Arlesian hair
    Unreal, Immaterial

    Dropped your raven clutch
    In the shadow of old Indian alley
    Absent light it imitates a valley
    Where the clouds make
    A drastic pass behind mesas
    And badlands stacks
    Inverted light now leads you back
    Unreal
    Deprived of sense it tickles your hair
    A little scared
    You're only now aware
    That they used to spill blood
    On bone dice,
    Stray cards or blades
    As if it's closing in
    You quicken your pace for
    Unreal
    Dividing line
    Of guiding night light
    Immaterial
    Place you know from sight
    Where sand hits the tide
    And dry land
