Despoliation 08:19
Addicted to demise Endless grey murk Sat heavy upon undulation The hominid weaklings Fail to perceive, fail to act A simulacrum of virtuousness The stone is cast Vapour writhes in its wake A surface seething gently Dark emerald and sickly pale Far below that, anguish Crisis surges from the depths Seasons whirl Gradually blackening The process accelerates Action and reaction Inviting to despoiling You claim 'eerie prescience': I laugh at your aggrandisement Things have always been thus You just failed to notice until now If I said that existence is Cartesian You would say: no, my experience is not If I am bereft, a new lover does Not make me who I was before Bone dice have been rolled Reversal is impossible Forfeited mechanism The arrow’s oncoming Or poisoned boulder Picking up speed Your self-deceit punished By inexorable energy Your preference is of no consequence The skeins have been plotted When this has been expropriated And all has been expropriated And your endowment has been abolished Then you will know the wealth of my cruelty Lyrics (c) D. Nahum 2016

Landschaft 06:01
Undulating black globe Soaked in filthgiving mist Unending trails, grey grass Amber sings on velvety black Phobos transpiring This enclosing openness Stretching a ox hide tent Across an infinite space Caves open to plains This has always been the way We are recalling now This is sacrificial land Beneath burdened brow An empty cavity A burning ox heart lies Upon a soggy field Stinging smoke wafts across Overwhelming the damp air Distantly, a voice ululating From beneath a twisting arch Too distant; distorted By elements and time "These imposters sold charms that made people invulnerable in warfare and fortunate in hunting and preserved them from all danger" (Charles-Etienne Brasseur de Bourbourg) The homeostasis of a species Like a pendulum knocking And then overcompensating Artificial magnificence Godlike reconstructionism Beneath uncaring whims A Minotaur with impunity This cycle unwinding: Irrefragable but undefinable (c) D. Nahum 2016

Exultation 13:29
I reached toward obscure galaxies Lifting my fingers to the sky Like a lone, wizened tree Amnesia's totem Black sigils carved Monstrous in scope: Visible from space Nightborne cities of gold Ice and concrete They can wither And be overrun Cloaked by an aura: I know I will die Utter powerlessness Liberation Constellations awry A nauseating spiral From well to well But here, in the ephemeral I cannot see far Surrounded by immediacy Myopia unbound Here, in the ephemeral I cannot see straight Existence in worthless chunks Intuition scratched aside A flint dagger, once used to pry Now used to obscure and maim I point accusingly at the uncaring sky Eschatological exceptionalism For a brief moment, I forget that I will die A contumelious de-realisation An ex cathedra credo of deep power (Simultaneously, shortsighted onanism) (c) D. Nahum 2016

Estuary 07:29
Opening, flight Corridors end in doorways Above plateaus Everything is apocalypse Branches angular Perpendicular to mud Burning fitfully A pall of smoke, lightless Once creek, today mere gulch Wetland sodden; cracked grey now The bones of flightless birds Thoughtlessly scattered Parched in the dry season Drowned in the wet season It was not always thus Invidious one You unwittingly seek Profound fire A primitive alchemy Purification This grove has dried and died With time it will crumble altogether The completion of life Bloodlessness Logos spermatikos Departure and return A course of filth The cycle of the wyrm Grandiose hideousness Winter trees aching A spring ratcheted to Near breaking (c) D. Nahum 2016
