Writing About Random Songs N. 94: The Knife - ‘The Captain’

June 20th, 2008

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.

Firefighters of Tetrisburg

May 30th, 2008

Firefighters of Tetrisburg
   

Firefighters of Tetrisburg,
   lay down your hoses and come
burrow with us. 

Hide from fire,
   let it play for a day. 

We'll poke vienna sausages
   up through manholes
and roast them at the feet of
   floods of flames.

Photograph of Katherine with Doves

February 24th, 2008

Photograph of Katherine with Doves

Language arcs away to white

Curves with soft fluttering
White soft arc
And then is arcing
Gone

	Like her soft jawline
Gracing down from earlobe
  and arc-sweeping up to chin

		Like paralleling
Proud bowing arc
 Of dove-white
  Soft dove-breast 

Arcing gone
		      To two soft white dovings
