they left you lying headless on the Via Flaminia,
your blood splayed out in the mud like a crown.
the horses reeled and pawed the earth at the smell of it.
you're food for the wild dogs & the ravens now.
o unfeeling saint of all our favorite feelings,
o bloodied saint of bloodless letter-love:
would you pray for us?
they left you lying headless on the Via Flaminia,
your blood splayed out in the mud like a crown.
the winter sun pulled back the rain like a bridal veil
as your love-letter unfolded itself on the ground.

Advent Song

the dried-up leaves
are scraping the gutter for you.
the dusty grass
is shivering in the last light for you.
the sun is
reddening and falling for you.
the clay and
the ditchwater are freezing for you,
patiently, patiently.
the park and the run-down buildings,
the stars and clouds and trees:
they all remember you.
they're all watching and waiting for you.
and the trees will clap for you,
and the clouds roll back for you,
and the stars go out for you;
they all remember you.
they're all watching and waiting for you
patiently, patiently.

tape-hiss symphonies to God
Harrison Lemke recommends:
Wild, slightly funky, slightly proggy indie rock songs that make you feel alive.

Child of My Sorrow
by The Chairman Dances
I'm in awe of the stories Eric tells with such an economy of words here. The magnificent arrangements and weighty vocals, which seem always about to fade into sigh or groan, also help.

Boots Quest DX OST
by Dragon Warrior
I made a video game, and this is the soundtrack by my Casiotone guitar pop / ambient / experimental music project. That's a weird digression but sometimes life is like that.
