lyrics:

FIAT LUX


In the beginning was the simplest word

Sent spinning with verbs

Littered absurd

and heard 

Spilling with visions of orbiting worlds

MOONS

Asteroids

Comets all swerving

ZOOM

Perpetual eliptical curves 

WOMBS

Conical geometric collective concern

BOOM!



From word GO

The planetary curved road confirmed flow

(shock of intertia)

Mock chaotic dispersal

Gravity's friction emerges

Solar systems and curls grow

Fixed in a black curtain

One in a trillion planets throw random urges

Life's flag unfurling.



Bacteria spilling, amoebian split and the poisonous gas slurping

Bubbling in seas, oxygen popping on the void of a cracked surface

Life's born in the primordial furnace
forms

A lightning storm immerses

Selective search,
Intelligent designed versions fly from divine perches



TRY:

Swimming with fins

Lay eggs

Photosynthesise at will

Amphibian

Porpoise

Tortoise

Fungus

Spineless virus

or snail


Grow lungs from gills

Filter fibres of krill

Prehensile tail

Opposable thumbs, five claws, eyeballs lined forward:
The hunter with a hunger to kill.


BEAT CHEST

wild call, crawl, walk, talk, light fire for warmth 
and the higher thoughts
cause expansion of heads 
therefore when the time arrives to be born

Infants can't stand on legs, demand to be fed

Crying from the night to the dawn

Garments protect flesh

Grab femur bone, instinct to defend what's rightfully yours


SPLIT HEAD OF MY ENEMY

Leaving his body to rot

SCREAM

oesophagus dropping, jaw and tongue hopping forming the speech to express DREAMS

young we feed from the breast, 

Among the cunning and strong is a constant test

Adjust and thus we must gather together gather the berries and seeds born in the EARTH


Men get swarthier, become warriors
Females evolve curvier first
we hunt further as nature's worthiest herbs gracefully nurture and slake our thirst

Beckoning dead reckoning, head trickling, cerebral hemispheres disconnect listening, navigating in the mist again, hearing the breath of invisible inner strength whistling.

BY FIRE one night as light drops,
an elder sidles up, coughs,
the tribe stops
Then he hands out handfuls of red toadstools covered in white spots
... we imbibe parts and eyes start to fly past sky's limits in circles:
BRINGING VISIONS OF VISIONS IN MURMURS
THE VIVIDEST IMAGES STIRRING

Pupils wide and flailing jaws, the males all face the cave wall
sitting gazing at the shadows dance as the flames fall, 
Inspired, grab black rock from the fire
SCRAWL
taking all the tales and stories from the day before and making drawings:
Bison in full flight and falling
and Frightened but Excited men with spears
A gigantic mammoth being panicked and herded towards the cliff edge in fear
and as the toadstool goes through the images so true seem to be alive and clear
The firelight animating the numbest of lines and playing shows in the zone behind the huntsman's eyes
seeing them suddenly writhe is such a surprise for his primitive mind the feeling DIVINE

The first picture
The first line
The first word
The first art
The firsthand wisdom
passed on through a bursting heart or written in words planted in verse cast scripture

The same spark that inspired life to make a start like an elixir
was flicked in the kindling enabling the flame's charge to bring light to the cave's dark
playing the part of the Trickster

And it's the same spark that made our ancestors paint large murals

The Same Spark when you decide to ride with the divinely designed mind and make art that's beautiful

from your first finger painting to the eulogy at your funeral,
We're all on the same path immutable
and a bountiful, fruitful part of our brain can't forget the flames dance in deity's creativity crucible.
