about

From "Threnody for a Forgotten Plague", work-in-progress dealing with the early days of the AIDS pandemic, specifically the fracturing of voices which literally and emotionally occurs during any such outbreak throughout time: the medical, political bureaucracy vs. the voices of humans fighting for their health and well being.

lyrics

Industry

Marathons between blocks
(rain is falling, rain is)
of business as usual
(feet moving through)
the talks that stall action
(the blood pushing up-)
during certain emergencies
(hill in a river of)
the debates debating
(other limbs cast against)
because it might be
(the undertow, cast)
considered controversy or
(out as lines who've)
because sides decide
(writhen, been barbed)
to disagree & take a
(& sunk but never-)
vote, another poll
(theless rise taut)
still deadlocked as
(enough to aim, deep)
snails who want to
(gentle & strong in)
be on top of their own
(the flow which won't)
missive missive
(be killed)
missile pile
