Blood Flight Lyrics

I carefully rearranged my senses
so they could have a conversation.
Taught them to switch places;
from each pore in my skin grew shimmering eyes!
And fingerprints filled the eye sockets.
From the ears grew two tongues,
and I sang for people passing a strange song.
Told them stories without moving my li!ps
(Mouth half-open, still)
They a**umed the words came from themselves;
these unfamiliar thoughts,

and I sang to them:
aaa aaa aaa.

Such is the speech of the body:
The ribs painted their fingernails.
(Black, of course)
And on the edges of the c***
grew little teeth!
The c*******, that great sphinx, opened its eye:
So many blind years, acting Oedipus.
Meanwhile the vocal chords were listening
for the wind howling,

whispering a familiar language of breath ...
secret tales for them to learn.
Then from my veins came a strange itching,
and I felt a pull through the shoulder blades.
I should have seen it coming!
The blood was itching!
And etched a hole at the nape of the neck.
It flew out into the night
like a long, red ribbon to the sky.
And up we went, blood and I, spread over the city.
The dark sky lay against my skin,
So close ...
like an eyelid.
