you die i’ll eat (unbridged)

in spite of our insignificance the fiery trial to the next generation stormy present enthrall our no democracy


devotion not perish

earth.

president street station at sunrise
(the baltimore symphony orchestra performed a lincoln portrait a month after oligarchs managing northern asia assumed executive control of the united states in 2017)

whose guardrail

to
gathering gaining advancing
all nations society salvation
through
sincerity
first step front line there


strength from all things

no matter where they read it
whose god they say said it
a means to prevent or deter access to peace love understanding
is making shit up

near facebook address for 300 gangstas at sunrise
(300 gangstas came together during the uprising after freddie gray was murdered for no apparent reason by police in 2015)

a los aficionados

words about our fraught body beautiful
boom
sky in spring egg blue
struggle passion
matadors and gravity
baseballs flying straight pure natural
touching
nobody nothing but here

from the playground at the city at sunrise
(the orioles played to no one once in 2015 after freddie gray was murdered by police for no apparent reason)

up next

love deep inside
who is well protected
small arms fire
artillery
mud
speak up
veiling of soft purple

deadly intersection at sunrise
(lor scoota was killed at harford road and cold spring lane/moravia road in 2014)

counting air keep spitting

some never leave mothers ocean
others breathe
three hundred ten million
more to share than
condolences
did you say
“and there was never a respite from the battle”
bringing my transchild
to meet your son

downtown from east baltimore at sunrise

(young moose released otm2 and opened out of the mud clothing on monument street in 2014)

closeup see

frackgas exploding under postpunk tunnelcore
whirlybirds would jam away
give us your liquid when you must die
you take your sleep

nightclub at sunrise through rail right-of-way around-growth
(in 2013 ‘if we shout loud enough’ documented, among other things, double dagger’s final performance, at the ottobar, in 2011—meanwhile let us hope for rail safety and two-person hazardous freight crews in the city that invented so called u.s. rail)

maerdir

old pine floors shellac and sun newly poured some clothes saved
from missed heart sailing in mortar and plank
there was a kid i knew as a boy
now is the beauty i hold on
were we met here flying apart fast
your better truth dear
arm in arm trees and grain
nothing same
matter can be time
south facing windows
body infinite stretching eyes sift gold
brick ships for miles we ask we hear

thames street at sunrise

(beach house released teen dream in 2010)

distortious

a forever known only to themselves jaw breaking
steel ribbed tools of selfsound strident banquet playing
blood as noise rising high grinding down
loud bright points dark matrix strenuous
hell ranging
songbirthing pound
consuming marrow and muscle splitting ear
electrons chaotic mind rule children
chord soaring shipmates riotous marque
shooting horizontal furious stars
infinite atonal binary prima
expressive hell crashing
steel fire lense laser apocalyptics profound
where trains go manic
live nativity fast heavy plasma sound

community space at sunrise, saint paul and 26th streets, baltimore

 (the baltimore rock opera society started performing in 2009, at the 2640 space )

soundteller

ocean distills in drips of
wood brass steel animal vibrating
as the teller felt
warmth and light in dark
shape
islands into whales
seahorses into mares into colts
birds and fire
notes dying dancing step
turn toward
mountains diving down into sea
shifter
running with tiger soaring walls
flickering cave

sculpture and symphony hall at sunrise, preston and howard streets, baltimore

(marin alsop began leading the baltimore symphony orchestra in 2007)
