lyrics

Este é o dia.
Esta é a hora, este o momento, isto é quem somos, e é tudo.
Perene flui a interminável hora que nos confessa nulos.
No mesmo hausto em que vivemos, morreremos.
Colhe o dia, porque és ele  

Tudo quanto vive,
vive porque muda;
muda porque passa;
e, porque passa, morre.
Tudo quanto vive perpetuamente se torna outra coisa,
constantemente se nega,
se furta à vida


If I am aware, my awareness of the fire suggests power!
Stumbling upon Bonehouse Havens
where candelabrum multitudes and daylight windows brightly eclipse any exits (is there another space other than this I dwell in?)
It seems other states of being have existed, with the presence of music filling the lobbies of my past life with fluttering commotion.  Mirrors speculate about the contemplation of other realities long gone.

These walls mitigate poetry, replacing it with mumbled awe and tinkled horror.

Repetitions - harmony upon harmony whistling wall to wall
I see birds in lulled imagination, escaping free through the windows as they flee our fixed tension points. Freedom fissures in the clouds they orbit - Mourning our stranding, singing their privilege of mastering their magisterial ladders.  They grasp their release, we strand on our prison.

Textures flattering the fires that burn within
As we plea exemption  to the shining godhead on the pedestal
Mourning who makes right the wrongs of our thoughts,
as nothing can be hidden in the omniscient eye of that statue that imprisons us as their religious advocators.

We strand unhidden, naked, obscene and polished, eaten, and heathen.
