about

Composed, performed and produced by Gerald Siclovan. Lyrics by Marc Christensen. Thanks to Bobbie Benson for her help with the bass arrangement.

lyrics

It cinders, the way an iris
moves to be useful

scurrying down streets, across
dead ends, not as narrow

as you'd think, dancing
hungry or going lighter now.

A sign, readable only from below
points up, if away:

the accusations flail
over every thin surface,

crossing trees, motion of a trace,
& cost, wrapping blood & electricity

with dirt & bumps around,
ubiquitous & always wrong.

Marc Christensen, "State Fair"
