foxes (free) 04:32
A halted herd of horses by a hill I will ascend - if I am to be a beginning must I be an end? The pleasant call of alcohol, like a siren in a glen, and come nightfall might I stay with you again? O! With you again! Fennec foxes nestled in a den. A broken band of brothers spurn the land they cannot flee. If I am to escape might I be free? But I'm disinclined to set my mind on that which shall not be. And then our legs entwined, your body next to me. You're next to me - boats pulled on the shore out from the sea. The leeching, lurid language of a note behind a pin - has will gained strength or is patience wearing thin? The subtle sounds that grace these grounds struck dumb by daytime din - are you coming 'round, or are you giving in? Are you giving in? Left to visit "places you had been?" A halted herd of horses by a hill I will ascend - if I am to be a beginning must I be an end? The pleasant call of alcohol, like a siren in a glen, and come nightfall might I stay with you again? O! With you again! Fennec foxes nestled in a den. Sirens in the glen, labored lovers lingering in bed. Hills I will ascend, captive creatures curled up in a pen. Must I be an end?

a snake (free) 03:42
In your words I felt shelter, now I am as a snake under a stone. I was a hare amongst bears, I was a herd-horse on its own. "How would you welcome a visitor into your home?" I tasted her, I felt her. She shaved her head, I was a louse. And if you, too, were a fig amongst pigs, if trouble swelled within through growth without, "How would you ask to enter someone's house?" Now a grass grows tall unnourished, unlit. Or if I found another way of looking at it: the old fall, the young falter, the joined split. But those who claim lost love never really found it. Now we deal with what I dealt her with fingers stretched and anger brewing. But if you dragged a mole from its hole, if it came clear grief was ensuing, "How would you ask someone how they are doing?" Sent to hell to stir and swelter, I returned and sought my love. But if the way were many days, if present passed as present does, "How would you ask someone how his journey was?"

battles of man (free) 04:04
In the battle of man against the beast I was not injured in the least. But O! My comrades were its feast! In the battle of man against machine I escaped unscathed and clean. But O! What a hellish scene! In the battle of man against the heat I found myself with food to eat. But kitchens fraught with spoiled meat and farmland lined with sun-scorched wheat. In the battle of man against the cold I was able to grow old. But O! You know death is bold! For though I survived, as I have told, I found myself with none to hold.

It can't bother me if I don't let it: The kitchen's freezing cold, the fridge is full of mold. Maybe if I find another way of looking at it: There's calmness in the air, I'm getting old and I don't care. You gave me much too much, now I'm indebted. You gave too much away, do you regret it? It can't bother me if I don't let it. The why of light on death. There was something I was mad about, now I forget it - Maybe if I found another way of looking at it. If you ever wanted him you never said it, But if it was paranoia, well you fed it. There was a place I liked to go and now I dread it and though I mean not to return I wouldn't bet it. But it can't get to me 'cause I don't get it.
