Another installation of this game I play where I open Itunes, enable Shuffle, listen to the first song that comes up, and write whatever comes to mind about it.

This time I was served up a song from The Knife, off their record “Silent Shout”, called “The Captain”. I love this song — it always settles & unsettles me with its cold vistas & brittle expanse.

First, the song:

The Knife - ‘The Captain’
   

And here, a poem I wrote for it:
   

Spray of marbles skipping
along vast mesa of chrome.

Slow fanning wingspan of
hungry metal owls
sweeping over stone.

A long thunder, away.

Measured avalanche of
straw, sand & aluminum
upon meadows of
magenta blossom.

Old indigo geysers,
dusted with crimson flakes.

Gray coral spiking up from pink ponds.

The distant throaty lowing of beasts.
