Weeping Soldiers

from The Breathing Bridge by Michael Bell

/

lyrics

The exits are lost. When the beats end, sleepwalkers grope along the wet metal, looking for a seam, the illuminated sign to assure them an alarm will sound.

Where did we come in? Some remember a sheet of falling water, warm as skin, others, a trail of dust, a dark window, a blue glow in the living room.
Images roll and flash behind fluttering eyelids. The attached electrodes record everything.

Our bodies ache, bound by a shimmering thread drawn through fevered children and their sleepless mothers, and those who give their lives for strangers, and weeping soldiers.

A Loose-Fish and a Fast-Fish, too.

Some of this is music for video games. The rest is a fairly raw document of my ongoing attempt to find something new among the blinking lights in my studio at home.
