TAKEDOWN
You can take down if you're not too troubled
pack up your bags
head out of town
oh take a train
outta here
fly to the next town
past the last one at the end of the highway
and keep on going
until the sun takes you down

UNDERTOW
She plants the seed into your soil skin
for the story to begin
She turns blind so you can see the mess you're in
You walk around in a dream state
sensing that you're not awake
there was no end to this dream
She gets horrified by the sight of blood
It reminds her she's not awake
His thick lizard skin won't let her in
but he overwhelms her
She doesn't really like him but she's love sick
He wants her skin and bones
all her light all her life
He sets fire to her holy dress
Her desire puts it out
He cuts off her head to keep her quiet
but her soul sings
There's no retreat no safehouse no protection
instead she goes out
and roams
wanders wild
she becomes the wildlife
no one's wife

SALEM NIGHTS
Fathers and feathers
Circe's Island
unspoken passage back
14 women
5 men
and 2 dogs
executed
for witchcraft
nahualli tlatoa
turn on devices
whose eyes are born
stream lined becomes scream like
broomstick
she flies
he says that she says
at night
that you said
that we said
liquid ribbon
fevered dreams
all night are born
flying cats
beautiful wings
witness there’s no song
boy cries
no father
little blind soul has run and runs
nobody’s there
we standby
echoing
eternally

TIGER LADY
It is easy to look back and paint a picture of how things went. At the time it was all unclear.
He was entirely aware of the image making process.
She took it for granted that she would be photographed with him, after all she was an actress.
She had the capacity for achieving the most impressive effects by the most superficial means.
Her face had changed, as if by action of many famous cameras.
He was jealous of her career.
He was hypnotized by a sense of the enormity of his deception.
His actor’s good looks had sunk into his cheekbones and eye sockets.
As her husband, he presented a very good public image indeed.
He could have played the part well had he not been inhibited by the idea of revolt from his marriage.
“You never feel the part, do you?
What do you mean, when I’m acting I’m working
It’s what I began to make of you that you’ve partly become.
Before I made you the Tiger-Lady, you didn’t even look like a lady in public, never mind a tiger in private.”
What is personality but the effect one has on others? Life is all the achievement of an effect. Only the animals remain natural.
She spoke like the jab of a needle, and watched to see if her words had gone in. He seemed aware that she was trying to stick a pointed idea into his mind.
The range of emotion was as grand as grand opera.
He wanted to leave her, and made up his mind that he would do so, eventually.
He disappears for a week, throws a party, without telling her, and without showing up himself,
and then commits suicide.
Oh, the treachery.
Having awoken from the dead sleep of arrested hysteria.
She felt cold with a coldness that nothing could warm.
You are a beautiful shell, like something washed up on the sea-shore, a collector’s item, perfectly formed– but empty, devoid of all life it once held.
She felt neither free nor unfree.
She’s, as an empty shell contains, by its very structure, the echo and harking image of former and former seas.
