Untitled (when I whistle out a bird call from a bird whistle, so perfectly harnessing the majesties of their song, I don't know what I'm saying, who I'm calling to and where it may be heard, I only long for a call back, someone to understand, echo, replace. I do not understand the reply, I don't need to (I don't want to), but it is undeniably more beautiful than what I have sung out, reproduced. I cry at its physicality, long for its physicality - record them, after a long conversation, and I take these residues home with me, and I listen to them in my home, alongside my window, in my terrace house now, and I pretend you are sitting close, saying them to me, and only to me)

Untitled (Make it real make it knownnnn, But if all else, Make it beautiful, And then those that stay with the mind, With others, Will do too, A system for the known and unknown, The whispers of a life unloved, Unlived, Lie with it if u want, Fill it if you dare, And I am no lofty being, I think watching it is nicer, If I am to be loved, I am to perform, and if I am to perform, I never want it to end - just as the applause shall never end - I want to say that I will love you, but I cannot even see you)

Untitled (watching how all this plays out) (the crescendo skips a beat, my heart, its only true understudy, plays the note all too long, but I know you liked it like that, the acoustics are great in here) ((I was) thinking 'bout you (that was) before there was you, (I promise) I only have eyes for you, (don't tell me that!There's no way!) am I losing you for good (?, but now) you're near me ( but at least right now anyway,) your mine) (lovers interlude)
