Kiss My Chrysalis

I'm gonna hug you right now she said
Running up to the young man
with the clouded face cracking open to smile
every once in a while
She don't care no more about rules and revelations
'bout the survival of the fittest
that hittest home the hardest
for those left alone
Change is gonna come when nothing's all you got
Listen for the dinner bell for your imaginal cells
The forms we know will change to naught
Change is gonna come when nothing's all you got
Listen for the dinner bell for your imaginal cells to gel.
I'm gonna hug you right now she said
Kiss my chrysalis to sleep
Just wait til you wake up in the new form you will keep

Everyone's entitled to their opinions, even when they're not all that right
They will talk and talk and talk until you gotta unlock your mental block
They're still wrong that's why I wrote this song about
Stepping on a piece of Lego
The pain starts out as Day-Glo
The whole weight of your existence comes crashing down on a piece of plastic that cracks apart, piercing the soul of your foot
The whole reason for your existence comes up against resistance
But they're projecting their rejection of this infection out loud
I keep on mentally rejecting that urge to follow the crowd
Once again I'm stepping on a piece of Lego
The pain starts out as Day-Glo

E pluribus unum
Let me pass you my sputum
E pluribus unum
This time I'll pass...on your sputum
Who's tasted the demo of this epidemic?
Epic epidural epistle pissing pustulence posturing apostolically
Pugilistic pestilence preternatural ignorance
Romance's deadly dance wearing fancy new pants
Bearing the weight of a complicated crown
Until we all fall down.

When will restrictions end?
They say we will need:
Health care system readiness
They say we will need:
Sufficient staffing and bed space
They say we will need:
Widespread availability of rapid testing and reporting of results
And availability of proven treatments
Any second now
Any minute now
Any hour now
Any day now
Any week now
Any month now
Any season now
Any year now
Any decade now

There once was a chemist from Dublin
Whose consumption of whiskey was troublin'
But the drink being Irish
was sure to kill the virus
So on most days his steps were fumbling
Whiskey for the heart and
Brandy for the stomach
Warm plaster of Brooklime to cure that pesky cough
that's dry! unproductive! and sometimes fatal!
There once was a virus asleep
Which woke up, found new hosts, and settled deep
It was silent when it moved in
Having nothing to believe in
Except making its host lie in a heap

Prayer deflector was erected in just the right spot
to make unwarranted pleas to god
ricochet loudly before exploding into smithereens
Rape whistles come in handy if you're a girl and happen to meet GI Joe in a back alley
It's OK to wear clown suits as long as you're wearing boots
God forbid we pull the trigger
50% military promoted or demoted, eating loud Lord pies
Garden of the Gods under crazy shepherd skies
We walk on the dust of those before us

Convergency Vortex

Convergency vortex surrounded her
like a spinning tornado of insight
inside out, she was a visionary
wtihout doubt
Synchronous coincidence
again and again
don't you see that it's all meant to be
eternity is lit for me again and again
Magic hatchmarks fill the void of the page
the words that poured out were flamed with rage
this fire to fight is stronger than any gauge
The forces of nature can not be detained

I like to spread my sheets when you kiss me sweet
No need to control, alt, delete whenever we mingle
Wherever we meet
Dragonflies zoom around etching halos in the gloaming
Our kisses are ellipses, hearts unzip under fingertips
This hilltop is magic, it touches the heavens
Constellations sing the stories of love’s search for human quarry
Magnets attract magic
I am ecstatic in your dragnet
Feeling our footsteps in the darkness
Singing away all our fears
Cherish the past and dream the future
Let’s lose ourselves now
Feeling our footsteps in the darkness
Singing away all the fears, singing away all our fears
Following our intuition’s dark mess
Who knows what we’ll feel next…
Tanzen in der Garten (dancing in the garden)
Küssen fur vielen Jahren (kissing for many years)
In der Wald Wir wander (we wander in the woods)
Kein Angst in Bärenlander (no fear in the land of Bears)
Wir singen bis Wir sterben (we'll sing until we die)
Liebe hat Uns viel zu lehren (love will teach us a lot)
Die Sterne sind Samen der Liebe (stars are seeds of love)
Sie flüstern ‘Ach, meine Liebe!’ (they whisper 'oh my love')
Wir passen wie Hand und Handschuh (we fit like hand in glove)
Dick wie Diebe, in Liebe (thick as thieves, in love)
My beau's name supplied the tonality for this song. I simply applied my musical alphabet to his name:

Ich bin ge-Kurted (I am Kurted)
Langsam in tandem (slowly in tandem)
Gewurzt durch verlockende Worten (spiced by enticing words)
Garten gurtel gibt es vielen viertel (Many neighborhoods within the garden girdle)
Gemma gemma nahmst du alle meine kusse (Let's go, let's go! Take all my kisses)
Gemma gemma unsere Versammlung ist so susse (Let's go, let's go! Our mingling is so sweet)

It is amazing how fresh and edgy this sounds more than 40 years after it was recorded. The reprises and home demos are fascinating. And am I the only one who hears an Art Ensemble of Chicago influence?

A Beautiful Western Saddle
by Curlew
supported by 8 fans who also own “Amy Denio: Corona Sonora”
This album isn't genre-bending, it's genre-defying. I have to admit, that I'm not familiar with Curlew oeuvre, but normally they seem to be much more avantgardy whereas this album is song based and full of melodies. But keep in mind that these are genre-defying songs ;-)
