hidden
place |
through the warmthest
cord of care
your love was sent to me
i'm not sure what to do with it
or where to put it
i'm so close to tearS
and so close to
simply calling you up
and simply suggesting
we go to that hidden place .å
now, i have been slightly shy
but i can smell a pinch of hope
to almost have allowed once fingers
to stroke
the fingers i was given to touch with
but careful careful
there lies my ©passion
hidden
there lies my ©love
i'll hide it under a blanket
lull it to sleep
i'll keep it in a hidden place .å
he's
the beautifullest
fragilest
still strong
dark and divine
and the littleness of his movements
hides himself
he invents a charm
that makes him invisible
hides in the hair
can i hide there too?
hide in the hair of him
seek solace
s a
n c
t u
a r
y
in that hidden place .å

who would have known :
that a boy like him
would have entered me lightly restoring my blisses
†
who would have known : that a boy like him
after sharing my core would stay going nowhere
who would have known : a beauty this immense
who would have known : a saintly trance
who would have known : miraculous breath
to inhale a beard loaded with courage
who would have known : that a boy like him
possessed of magical sensitivity
would approach a girl like me
who carresses
cradles
his head in a bosom
he slides inside
half awake / half asleep
we faint back
into sleephood
when i wake up
the second time in his arms : gorgeousness!
he's still inside me!
....?... who would have
known ...?....
a train of pearls º º º º º
º º º cabin by cabin
is shot precisely across an ocean
from a mouth
from
a
from a mouth of a girl like
me
to a boy
to a boy
to a boy

it's
not up to you |
i wake up
and the day feels broken
i tilt my head
i'm trying to get an angle
'cause the evening
i've always longed for
it could still happen
how do i master
the perfect day
six glasses of waterS
seven phonecalls
if
you leave it alone
it
might just happen
anyway
it's not up to you
well, it never really was...
if you wake up
and the day feels a-broken
just lean into the crack
just lean into the crack
and it will
t r e m b l e ever
so nicely
notice
how it sparkles
down there
i can decide what i give
but it's not up to me
what i get given
unthinkable
surprises
about
to happen
but
what they are
it's not up to you
well, it never really was...
there
is too much
clinging
to
peak
there
is too much

pagan
poetry |
pedalling through
the dark currents h
i find an accurate copy
a blueprint
of the pleasure in me
swirling
black
lilies
totally ripe
a secret code carved
swirling
black
lilies
totally ripe
he offers a handshake
crooked
five fingers
they form a pattern
yet to be matched
swirling
black
lilies
totally ripe
on the surface simplicity
but the darkest pit in me
is pagan poetry
pagan poetry
swirling
black
lilies
totally ripe
.. .. . . ... . . ... ... . .. . .... . ...

morse : coded : signals
they pulsate : they wake me up
from my
hibernate
on the surface simplicity
but the darkest pit in me
is pagan poetry
pagan poetry
i ©love
him
this time
i'm gonna keep me to myself
this time
i'm gonna keep my all to myself
she ©loves
him
but he makes me want to
hand myself over
she ©loves
him

alive : with closed eyes

i have a recurrent dream
every time i lose my voice
i swallow little g l o w i n g
lights
my mother and son baked for me
during the night
they do a trapeze walk
until they're in the sky
right above my bed
while i'm asleep
my mother and son pour into me
warm g l o w i n g oilS
into my wide open throat
i have a recurrent dream
every time i feel a hoarseness
i swallow warm g l o w i n g
lights
my mother and son baked for me
they make me feel so much better
they make me feel better
we have a recurrent dream
everytime we lose our voices
we dream we swallow little lights
our mother and sons bake for us
during the night
they do a little trapeze walk
until they're in the sky
right above our heads
right above our heads
while we're asleep
my mother and son pour into us
warm glowing oilS
into our wide open throats
i have a recurrent dream...
they make me feel better
they make me feel better

if there's a troubador washingh
it is he
if there's a man about town
it is he
it there's one to be sought
it is he
if there are nine she's
they are bought for me
this way is
as is she
and he placed her unclothed
long (long) longlegged
a t o p t h e f a m i l
y t r e e
and if he has chosen the point
while she is under him
then leave her coily placed
crouched
sucking
him
for it is i with
h e r o n k n e e
i leave her
without pith
or feel
and leave her be : leave her be
for he controls
what there'll be
he makes
his face known to none
for if he is seen
then all will
and all will
know
know me

unison |
one hand ©loves
the other
so much on me
born stubborn, me
will always be
before you count 123
i will have grown my own private branch
of this tree
you : gardener
you : discipliner
domestically
i can obey all of your rules
and still be : be
i never thought i would compromise
i never thought i would compromise
i never thought i would compromise
let's unite
tonight
we
shouldn't fight
embrace
you tight
let's
unite tonight
i thrive best
hermit style
with a beard and a pipe
and a parrot on each side
but now i can't do this without you
i
never thought i would compromise
i never thought i would compromise
i never thought i would compromise
let's
unite tonight
we

loveletters in the stomach
vönd af kossum í munninum
bouquet of kisses in the mouth
kyrr!
calm down!
hafandi haf af girnd
having an ocean of desire
hafandi loðna löngun um mjaðmirnar
having a hairy desire around the hips
hafandi sjón sem að sér þegar það er slökkt
having eyes that can see in the dark
og gott bil milli fótanna
and too much space between the legs
kyrr!
calm down!

you have to trust it
i'm eternally yours
all that i gave them

so needy of comfort
but too raw to be embraced
undo
