Memo From Gabriel
02:29

head of staff regrets to say
there won’t be a judgement day anymore
downstairs had to liquidate
weeds are growing through the grate in the floor
loans on interest will be paid
we don’t need to be afraid anymore

Roadworks

meaning can exist in a single mind
for a time
then where does it go?
people they can give and they can chip away
you can stray
or merge with the flow
patience for the road workers sent to mend
tectonic bends
slow shattering woe
as the coach driver takes me to task
i need to ask
what is it he knows
“there’s only a road there
into the dark
into the bright
into the heart there
nothing to see
no-one to be
only a road there”
in two long hours we are clear of it
my mind drifts
i’m tracing the shore
see the lantana and the peppermint
there’s a hint
of friends in the fore
Stevie is unpacking on the radio
three semitones
sounds so far from four
we will meet out there for a bit
hold onto it
we have nothing more

If You Pull
01:55

hold my hand in such a way
that dampens the oscillation
so i can’t feel the quake
the bulls dozing in the yard
hold my hand in such a way
my jagged nails in your palm
uncertain if they’ll stay
a front porch to sit and stare out from
like a sleep flattened knot in your hair
it will keep if you pull
like a kite in the breeze of your stare

How Do You Sing
04:33
|

there’s something in my chords that comes from you
although i’ve never heard you even hum a tune
there’s something in my words that comes from you
although my hand writes so erratic, so skewed
how do you sing? is it through me?
i’m still trying to figure out what pride’s about
did you learn as slow as me, have the same doubts?
in Japan for a year, what did you do
when he built ships, where did you float to?
how do you sing? is it through me?
there’s something in this song that comes from you
