narration

lausse:

the sun looked away from the rude cat with a sulk
so thoroughly vexed and hurt by his meowing and whispers
that a huge, hot and salty tear flushed with a lug
from his eyes to the oceans below and fell with a crash

he withdrew his golden arms from the houses and streets
and the parks, trees and faces, and thе trash all beneath
and he flung thеm up towards the skies and ceilings above
where with golden claws for hands, he ripped the shadows from sleep

and he pulled them down like curtains, the blue seas turned blood red

and above them hung heavy the dour sun
dragging night’s cloak over his body, such an infant does
when sent to bed deprived of supper by a fuming mum

waves of darkness came gushing from the abyss
running like death’s ghost to swallow in its path all the light
and with one last toss from the sun and his black blanket
he eclipsed his final shine, and then the darkness arrived
at first, there was silence but then echoed a roar
from all those who lived like cattle to the rhythm of day
civilisation ran amok, and the workers fell to nap
whilst shops were robbed and plundered by the humans underpaid

and as the banks slept, and the law dreamed of order
and power slipped out of sweaty~palmed politicians
the law of the jungle took place in this disorder
and the suits stripped and cowered in their marble island kitchens

in clubs, songs were played back to back for the youth
who regrouped there in masses, all trembling with angst
they had wished a revolution, but as soon as it had come
chased oblivion with rum pills and industrial tracks

then all came to a halt as the power ran dry
and the moon shone no more for the sun didn’t spy
the icy earth swung black and blind with lights absence
and fear chilled all souls as they prayed to the skies

palaces, houses, apartments, flats, flowers
forests, green gardens, brown gates and front lawns
were thrown in huge fires set ablaze with small matches
to etch the silhouettes of scared faces once more

and since all the food had been looted with greed
in the chaos that had stemmed from forgetting what dawn was
burnt corpses fed rats, and the rats fed the humans
till rats were no more, and the humans ate corpses
the sh~t cat viewed all this from the tiles of his rooftop
his small house untouched due to rivers of tears
that flowed out of his eyes and made waterfall walls
as he wept for the glow of his sweet moon disappeared

and through his drenched eyes, he saw then far in the distance
a shadow spin round in a furious fit
for all the mad hatters had gathered round saino’s
to dance, run and sing as they pranced round the pit

their shattered t~~th clashing with bottles of glass
and eyes red as rubies from madness and fumes
in turn, one by one, howled and leapt in the fire
to extinguish their souls and be one with the moon

and as their flesh left them, their souls grabbed the smoke
which whisked the ghosts up to the stars in the skies
where they landed on mars, for it’s told as a rumour
the moon there still sings and shines nice on the eyes

alone, the cat wept;
“a plague upon you wretched sun!
you bring the burning pain of man to stain the doorstep that i sweep”
the stars cackled at the sight, the fires crackled in the night
and shone ablaze the scene that lausse had sought to hide within his dreams

and his tears dripped and splashed a mossy puddle to a lake
which spilled and morphed into the lethe river running free
and paved before his eyes a road towards the sullen skies

where he could hear the mocking stars in fits as humans burned beneath

he heard the laughs and calmly told the sun to leave said;
“f~ck a job, go sing to those who worship p’s and being tanned”
and he skirted down his roof and used a tile to surf the stream
he tied a rizla as a flag and bade a bye the burning d~mned

the flesh of churning humans made their limbs appear to wave
the shrieks would seem to cheer him luck as he departed from the land
he yelled ahoy and grabbed the helm and set the sail towards the night
and sang himself a song the sailors sing in ports of amsterdam

“tenant un air bleu dans le crâne
je prends la peine de peindre mes pensées
je pends mes peines du rose des lèvres
pour l’garder en dehors de l’âme

je lance mes jambes devant
en gambadant tout lentement dans l’noir
en pensant sans élan au sens
je laisse au lendemain le drame

la danse des diables et celle des anges
m’allume en lampadaire le soir
j’me serre les dents au flair des vents
qui perce, berçant l’odeur des flammes

mon âme j’la lance dans les courants
de l’eau d’la mère
j’me lave les mains mes peines me pèsent
et j’en veux pas quand j’m’envole loin dans l’au~delà”

and he sailed towards the stars and once beneath them yelled above

“i seek to dance amidst the moon to blind my eyes of all things sad

curl my body in a ball upon the crevice of her arch
for she can cradle me to sleep to hush the hummings of the mad!”

the stars were struck and startled harshly by the mortal cat’s demands
but soon they rippled out and echoed loud a belly laugh anew
for see, the stars are just the dead who sparkle hard to seem alive
and there before them was a cat who’d blindly die to bed the moon

they giggled;

chorus

the stars:

“you will, you will, you will, you will
never, never, never, never
find a, find a, find a, find a
lover, lover, lover lover
haha, haha, haha, haha
haha, haha, haha, haha

she will, she will, she will, she will
never, never, never, never
love you, love you, as long as you’re
living, living, living, living
living, living, living, living”

verse 1

lausse:

holler, h~llo, hallo
may you hear my hollow heckle
echo high and halt the hollow howl

you cackle in my ears
i hope to sleep and drag the blinds
i’ve peeped my people’s pantomime
enough to know to leave the show
before the closing hour arrives
i wonder will i, will i, will, will i
ever find a little silver
sliver of a linen line
to sew myself a pillow
fit to kip and kick the bucket
make like hummus, dip or cut like scissors
slip like in your missus, duck like pecking
skip like class
and leave this little world behind

(the stars replied…)

stars:

“no chance, little cat
you ain’t died yet
our moon shines
for the fellas in the fire pit!”

(kitten grabbed a stella and replied)

lausse:

i would, i could, i should’ve
cooked and popped and snapped
and crackled quick before your cackles
made me gag for some bromide
i pander pious shouts to scout out your highness
with loins burning more

than your burnt sparks provide us

(the stars cursed the cat
chiming quiet in a choir
they cackled at him…)

stars:

“listen, we know you ain’t got
the innards or the belly for a dive
tell us why you told
the timid sun to hurry off a cliff”

lausse:

this world is clapped
i didn’t wanna see our errors in a light
and call me tepid, but
i’ve hardly seen an effort make a diff

the stars:

“call the kettle black
but you just poured the oil on the fire”

lausse:

at least the better generation need
no clipper for their spliff
let them safely solve the world with sweaty thumbs
in terms of f~cks, i’ve given none and now
i’m dying for—i’m dying for a kip

chorus

the stars:

“you will, you will, you will, you will
never, never, never, never
find a, find a, find a, find a
lover, lover, lover lover
haha, haha, haha, haha
haha, haha, haha, haha

she will, she will, she will, she will
never, never, never, never
love you, love you, as long as you’re
living, living, living, living
living, living, living, living”

verse 2

i ask the stars
(h~llo, cat)
let me sleep
being stuck between two worlds is all i seek
when i fear
the day escape me
then i spend the night
to tame the time that breaks me
(tik tok, tik tok, tik tok)

when i wake
in sp~ce i lull
to waste the time i’m gifted
just to feel control
like when you choose a person
knowing they’re made of clay

so when love crumbles once again
you’re not to blame
(it’s not your fault)

i always feel
like life’s a loop
till i find myself once more
dressed in a suit
so i wear a suit all year
to keep death distant
but i know a person’s missing
when it’s christmas

when i fear
(when i fear)
i’ll cease to live
(i’ll cease to live)
before my pen
(before my pen)
writes all i’d give
(writes all i’d give)

when my eyes
(when my eyes)
meet starry nights
(meet starry nights)
the thought of never being again
gives me a fright!
(gives me a fright!)

when i watch
(when i watch)
a face adored
(a face adored)
then i weep to think

i’ll see said face no more
(said face no more)
when these fears
(when these fears)
drive me to the brink
(to the brink)
then love and fame
(fame)
till nothingness do sink!
(sink, sink, sink, sink)

verse 3

lausse looked down at his feet, all bashful
and gulped down his howling defeat
his blue tiled barge merged to one with the seas
and the oceans’ garm showed him all he had dreamed of
a handful of stars now blurry
the waves turned their sharp beams furry and meek
they played round his finger, he swirled out a tango
and twirled ‘em away with a swipe of a paw
the lone moon her pale head; a bowl full of milk
and a snout so close he could bend down and drink her
dinner alfresco, alight with some tinsel
he knelt down and smiled at the sight of this picture
then he fell headfirst in the picnic…
(splash)

children:

(oh no, come back!)

(oh no…)

(don’t go, little cat)

outro

papet:

“as one of our poets is fond of saying, if i may quote…”

(oh yes, yes, please do)

“where are you going stream
far, far away
take me with you stream
take me on your dark journey
lord frith
take me far away to the hearts of light
the silence
i give you my breath
my life
the silence…”

(the silence)
