lirik lagu elizabeth a. carver - portraits of sections of whale body
step right up through the viscous bile of immortality
everything is vague motion here
every breath marches one after the other here
everything is wet and glistening and not at all here
here, every daughter and son
gentleman and fiend
pour their grandest desires and most harrowing fears
like hair worms into all too susceptible insects
i will manufacture heaven for this image
pour it into infinity
forcе it down my mouth, and pray to the hands around my neck for this image
all for this imagе of the tail before the head
and now, my worst fears actualized in the shape of a coin
something incomprehensible rips through the reverberating black
great big mountains erupt
up and up and up they go
standing tall, proud, and malevolent as a sonorous breeze inundates this place
babies sing, field mice snicker, and the flowers all bloom smelling of newborns
all this is to say
one snake is revealed to be two
these holy creatures made sinners by their own union
but suddenly in the face of such a divine sight
every heart comes back together to shudder and then… sink
for now it’s as though something truly remarkable and completely imperceptible has dropped out from under this embryonic menagerie
the blue sky turns black
hens all flatten their backs as the wind carries fox screams across whistling trees
herds of goats, elephants, cattle, and the like are all maddened to a stampede across every field, valley, and savannah as they rumble the earth
then the mountains shiver in their co~rs~ skins and crumble
every star burns brighter and brighter, blindingly so
until they swallow their own auras of light, turn to h~llish flame
and plummet
the skies husk enveloped with them as they grow closer and closer like hailing arrows kissed by the sun
and the earth which holds you like so many mothers hold their children now
opens underfoot
and then in the last few moments of this all embracing mirage
as it had been dropped from the fire escapes of so many minds
it seems to become glaringly evident that there is only one thing to do…
