lyrics

I Oedipus
Son of my wife
Sister of my
Daughter
Brother of my sons
Oh my daughter
My lovely daughter
My lonely sister
Where will it end
Sit down beside me
By the Grove of the Furies
In the shade of cypress
And the all too human Olive branch
Let me dry
Your tears
With this Tainted hand
This gnarled
Incestuous hand That will ossify
Soon
In this strange
Haunted place
This no man’s land
On Citharon they Left me
Heels bound
A squalling babe
For the jackals
And the Lions
I still dream
Of those sounds
On the mountain
The streams Gushing
Lambs bleating
The old gay
Shepherds Mumbling in
Their sleep
The frozen Infant
Naked save
The silver
Bolt
Fastening his feet
Not even
A blanket
The hillside
Strewn
With gnawed bones
A knee
A ribcage
An ankle
Who’s shoulder
Was that
Who’s clavicle
And the babe
Waiting
Choking
Feet in ribbons
Smeared in shit
Urine
Mucus
Will she never come?
What have I done?
I’ve never known Such pain
A star shoots
If I survive this
I’ll survive
Anything
I’ll wreak
Such havoc
No rage
Like
The rage of
Infants
Babe of the
Crucified feet
The bolted heels
Curse them on the shooting stars
The tearing wind
Howling down
The mountainside
Citharon hear
My savage
Song

And the shepherd
Came
Doesn’t he always
With his sheepdog
Where would the
Gods be
Without the shepherd
And his sheep
