space is where all the good stuff is happening
nothing happens,
and we are writing chronicles.
these magnets aren’t srong enough.
and i m not at all who i thought i was,but that s no surprise.
it s a beautiful dayin a goodbye way.
shapes & sounds … gems for now … reasons for gratitude:

“Forever”
words and music by Roky Erickson
Without One, there would be
an empty, empty, empty space
With One, I can see
One’s own face
Not for a little while, not for a day,
but forever forever forever
One shows one the way
One is not a style, One is not a trend
Just the thought of One, makes me smile
And One tells one…. we will never end
Not for a little while, not for a day,
but forever forever forever
One shows one the way
One is not lost, one is again
with One, one has the pleasure
as of knowing One’s own name
Not for a little while, not for a day,
but forever forever forever
One shows one the way
Not for a little while, not for a day,
but forever forever forever
One shows one the way
Not for a little while, not for a day,
but forever forever forever
One shows one the way

days of elementary pleasures:
lydia lunch, diamanda galas in the marble church. work on the land,
sow, saw, see, the dragon fruit, a fire, the chain.

the red fox lives there.
he is a clever one.
he hides himself in written word.
he draws the world’s mechanism on a piece of paper and leaves it to us to decipher.
clever little fox.
