A memory of a connected world. I circled the glob

A memory of a connected world.

I circled the globe in my recovery from #tbi bringing music to places where I couldn’t speak the language. Language was not part of my early inner recovery before that, so it didn’t need to be part of it re entering the world either. Music and the energy in the face was the way to communicate. #communication #empathymatters

"The Last Dive" is an homage to old dive bars and the joy of sleazy exploration. Tipping the hat to Iggy, David and Lou, and all the neighborhood haunts. Let’s hope all the old bars survive the pandemic. Link in bio.

“New York was a place I experienced as a young teenager and had some very strange adventures, back when the city was a lot less gentrified. ‘The Last Dive’ is an homage to old dive bars, and the joy of sleazy exploration back when cities were financially hollowed out, and art and danger were at the centers of them.” Thanks for sitting down with me @british.thoughts.

RIP TOOTS HIBBERT

@arigold and I grew up with your voice and rhythm and joyous energy coming from our mother’s turntable. Your songs are timeless

Let the #pressuredrop on all who deserve it

I have dreamed such things

Goddess of the northern water hummed melodies to me in sleep

In an early morning flat in Stockholm

Erotic polysexual visions of a western beach as the fog hovered over childhood,

Bay windows rattled

Sparks of sunrays from a man-woman from the water

My messengers are from other galaxies and from deep under the earth we trod upon

I vow to keep giving birth like the wet earth or like a combusting star

We burn and churn whether anything or anyone is near to receive our energy

Send those rays out

Heal, destroy, heal, destroy, heal

Wings across this little universe

Separate, unite, separate, unite

We are all feeling a lot right now. The world seems off balance. What can be done? Is it too much for you to carry on your own? Is the messiness too much to bear? Do you want to give up?

Palms generally circle an oasis
We’ve planted them everywhere
But you shouldn’t drink the water
From any of the pipes
That are a gordian grid underground.
Sway above, a dance to woo,
Your public face with the smile of open leaves,
Rattle and leak below

Experimenting with giving y’all some #unreleased lyrics. This is not a #poem. #Lyrics are different from #poetry. There is a #melody with this.

It was a #mood last week. We all go through those moments. Especially during this time, those #feelings can show up. I turn it into #music. So don’t worry about me.

Everyone do the things that clear your mind

Have You Ever Looked a Giraffe in the Eyes? Have

Have You Ever Looked a Giraffe in the Eyes?

Have you ever
Looked a giraffe in the eyes?
They’re the supermodels
Of the animal world.
She came right up to me and turned her head so I could
Look down towards her
I was the male after all
And eyes flutter open
Eyelashes like black painted venus diamond traps
Slow motion
26 ips. Or 200. Aperture 340 over nothing.
Fuck it.
Set me to melt.
And she turns to stone.
And I squirm out 65 medusa heads
With ten whirling serpents, worrying dervishes on frozen dental floss
Oh come on
Have you ever looked an animal in the eyes?
It’s not all embarrassing diaries and inconvenient hardons
The orangutan is actually kinda orange.
It’s the color of putrified jaundice.
But the screaming little tyrants are jumping around the plastic.
And this kind old bitch is tired.
So fucking tired.
All the sound and sticky smell of what we call childhood
We call, recall, recall, recall —
How’s this? We fall all the time
But we’ve got the shoulders of giantkillers to stand on
We are sneaky little Davids
Goliath is dead, and god isn’t
Goliath sits in a cage
Mournful, deathly, she is a mother, but the little brats aren’t hers
And they won’t shut up
Chomp through the leaves with metal monsters
Spit out shit to fill the waters
Unroll brags over the mayfly winnowing meadows
I have looked in the eyes
Of the caged wilderness
And it turned me on.
Have you?
