My blood is clean Pt. 4

snarl and howl in the wood wake all the birds
hound the harlots out of the ferns
this damfool twilight threshing in the brake
bleating to be bloodied
this crapulent hush
tear its heart out

    Not at all simple and obvious, I’ve enjoyed this mysterious mood.

  2. GK says:

    Your website and music taste are fabulous :)

    I’m a blood donor, I swear… rh 0 + … the last donation took place the last friday, after 3 months and 2 days from the previous :)

    I would want that the world was like this motel.

  4. Helper says:

    The music on Part One doesn’t play. The links seem down. I only tell you this because I want to hear–hear the music.

    Regards.

    nice playlist, moka, glad to see you’re a fan of the grouper album. “heavy water” is one of my favorite songs right now.

  6. Christafan says:

    It’s so wonderful that you selected Moondog’s Pastoral. I really missed this one.

  7. Moka says:

    Thank you angeles and GK!

    Jungle: Thank you so much. I used to be a frequent blood donator before I had a tattoo done. My blood is not really clean anymore.

    Helper: We had to take several links down because we were having server difficulties, I don’t think I’ll up many of the songs from back then again but if I have time I’ll re-up the first part of this series on sunday because this is supposed to be an ongoing project and I intend to make one of this every month or so.

    Chris: It’s a definite improvement on her past efforts, ‘heavy water’ is also one of my favorite songs this year, actually the whole grouper album has been a repeated play over here when I’m in a drowsy mood :)

    Christafan: I love the moondog, pastoral is one of the highlights on his second album for me. Very delicate and unusual for him.

    I am sure you would like In Gowan Ring.

    Thank you for the music, again and again.

The song makes its imprint
in the air, making itself felt,
a felt world. Here, there,
the stunned silence

of knowing I will not remember
what I heard;

futures that will never happen,
a fluidity we cannot achieve
except as a child
creating possibility.

This is the untranslatable song
hidden in the earth.
