John Speke 03:36
John Speke, Have you seen him lately? With that unkempt mane He’s been meditating His complexion’s changed & His eyes are sinking Have you heard him rave? Like a condemned sinner Burning at the stake Like a hogtied missionary In a foreign place, In a fever state… …Under full flower moon I dreamed a thangka in bloom It buffaloe’d the demons that were leading Me from glory in Taborah! In a lake formed from Apache Tear Squatted BDelia, Maiden of Bath Elixirs She sprinkled lavender & majik herbs Then stirred the sapphire seas Of Zanzibar Her dripping hand, gold glistening It pointed me to Lake Victoria

Upon the ushered sun Placed my shed skin Poked my ruptured heart Leaking emerald light from dark Fashioned each chamber into a charm Drew my pistol, I felt the welder’s spark Flaunted haunted heritage like a flag I threw my snake to the birds
3.
Kali-Yuga 04:48
Long ago I heard a voice Emerge from stretched, wet Deer pelt Ever since, I’ve turned an ear To every conch or turtle shell The voice I heard was a faint whisper Submerged by our blood memories Ever since, I’ve learned her tongue So that one day she may speak: If you’re on your moon, Best get on the move- Kali-Yuga, soon... Whenever we feel we’ve climbed Out the sea of wrong From which we sprung, The ladder births another rung But love, love will come easy When the chords resolve Yes love, love will come easy For us all
4.
No Moonlight 02:01
No Pagan curse, No ancient verse Will render our love useless No moonlight, No kunzite Can measure the pleasure you give We’re sprawled out in a Grainer car On the old Sante Fe Rolling like a thunder cloud Through pews of blue corn Praying for rain Namo Namah, My BDelia
5.
Calcify 02:22
C’mon mama, let’s calcify Won’t you swaddle me by the dellside? C’mon mama, let’s calcify No second thoughts in the afterlife Your piercing eyes, Prussian azurite C’mon mama, let’s calcify We’ll get lost to the elements, Amber wandering elephants Ever On the lam
6.
Oh baby, it may be true Thought I knew love until I met you In the days of old, I sang alone ‘Til I searched through howlite runic tunes For a note to hold & Call my own It came unprovoked, astral kitten to my milk The loom still spinning her silken whiskers She purred the word of durga, I bowed Oh baby, it may be true Thought I knew love until I met you Like a koan undone, or a cold bloodstone Dropped on the throat of an oracle Waking, heartsick hysterical So it goes, this hymnal Ebbs and flows, but I know As long as the veil is lifted, As long as the litter is sifted We’ll meow Oh baby, it may be true Thought I knew love until I met you And darling, don’t question my vow I’ll rub your ears when light gets too loud
7.
Father of my night-sweats, Kolcutta I can swallow anything I’m a rare specimen, Kolcutta Could have been corn maiden When your galley washed ashore I could taste your sea-swept vision Didn’t want your lower lip then But you beat me into submission Bloodied my bronze skin, clashing brazen Muddied my hot spring, masking pain within Played my body like a drum, like a bodhran Laid me down, cracked me with your tongue Father Kolcutta, you Wore me out Broke me down to bead, wire & bone Ground me down with your selenite pestle Father Kolcutta, fill my vessel I can swallow anything
8.
Mudhead 02:54
Even when the snow below seems more pure Even when the rusted bolts are a blur I will tame the buffalo herd When the earth starts to shudder I’ll shoot the lantern From the brakeman’s hand We’ll count the feet in the constellations If ever the madness turns DARKMOTHERSCREAM I’ll be the Mudhead, bring you down…
9.
Asphalt bathsalt, Clove & rose petal, Aquamarine mala beads, Fragments of human skull, Hair of a yak, teeth of a cat All boiling in the mire- Broth of lost desire Heard it resonate Thirty knots deep: “BURTON SHOT SPEKE!”
