So . . .
Sunlight covers the forest floor
Depending on the positions of the leaves.
And creatures defend this shifting territory
From competitors' offense and mischief.
Your todays, you recollect, then they gather regret
like books gather dust
If left on the shelf. The love that you gave,
The love you witheld may leave you frustrated.
Each month he moves on a chamber:
It's where the moon touches the sea.
Galaxies, when he adds a layer,
Share his style, logarithmically.
If you fell out of step with the moon,
Then your growth might be delayed,
Or come too soon.
Each month you'd reside in a chamber
Of ill-fitting size.
You may find that you miss connections
And misplace your life.
These legs, although fully grown,
Carry me forward.
- Forwards.
(As the moon fills and the sun journeys on)
And though my heart got torn,
Pain is something I'd learned to ignore.
- Oh.
(As the moon fills and the sun journeys on)
And as the moon fills
And we fall through the milky way . . .
- Fall.
(As the moon fills and the sun journeys on)
One day, I hope it transpires
That the words that I need to hear
- One day.
(As the moon fills and the sun journeys on)
Spiral down the bony labyrinth of my inner ear.
- Spiral.
Transcribe on cosmic microwave background for all to see.

Swallowtails,
Fritillaries,
Painted Ladies,
Adonis Blue
Dance across wood, heath and downs.
Squirm as you pin them down.
Serpent's turned
- The home that held
Into stone
- The beast imprints itself
By St. Hilde,
- Upon the seabed,
Missing only their heads
As evidenced
By the the thousands on the beach.
Tongue no longer there
Wraps around the back
Of a skull no longer there.
Plumage so pretty
On a wooden mannequin.
She sells
- Extincted
Sea shells
- Compacted
By the sea
- In the gift shop:
- A folk culture
Wunder-
- Evolved and passed through time,
-kammer look inside.
- Obtained and behind glass,
Resin and
- Solidified.
Formaldehyde.
Ammonite.

Kissing Brighton, UK
Kissing make retrofuturistic songs arranged for two singers and a blend of synthesizers with folk
instruments.
When we play live, we use ritualistic gestures, dance, and playful homespun stagecraft to conjure up a tender realm.
Kissing are both non-binary. We like to undercut the classic macho coolness of rock bands, switching it for a perspective that’s altogether softer and queerer.
