Do the Kolchak

the sun moves sideways
across the white horizon
the ice creaks and crackles
like my rheumatic joints
do the Kolchak
dada dada dada
dada dada dada
supreme leader
big cheese
the frosty fields tremble
the wind falls to its knees
limb from limb from limb
prick from pelvis from limb
mobilise the gallows
limbs flung from pogrom hymn
dada dada dada
dada dada dada
torn from arm from limb
from claw from hand from limb
from paw from crippled limb
from psalm from stump from leg
dada dada dada
dada dada dada
ideal, ideal, ideal
knowledge, knowledge, knowledge
boomboom, boomboom, boomboom
let's take a page from the fishfacebook
and paste it in the Omsk Gazette
let's take a page from the big shots of Tokyo
who choked the Amur River with Nanai flesh
ideal, ideal, ideal
knowledge, knowledge, knowledge
boomboom, boomboom, boomboom
we'll burn down some cute village
and sit around the fire
we'll hang the population
for lack of barbed wire
carts full of bodies and bolsh
sent to Ataman Annenkov
the admirable admiral loves you
so perform love's labour
or labour's love
to put out a manifesto you must want: ABC
to fulminate against 1, 2, 3
you must never go behind the guardhouse walls
where winter lamb and pork carcasses hide in human skin
where tongues are sliced and eyes are gouged
to preserve the system and rule of
ting tang walla walla bing bang
oo ee oo ah ah ting tang walla walla bing bang
do the Kolchak
i'm feeling that goon
feeling that goon
raise the sack to
eclipse the moon
i'm drinking that red red goon
or maybe that white white goon
raise the sack to
eclipse the moon
fucking dance
don't stop and think
grind the gears
drain the drink
fucking dance
don't stop to think
thaw this fucking
frozen wind

a drift of pigs
slides along the sidewalk
a wake of buzzards
falls into the sea
a national guard
found my father
but i'll never let
the pigs find me
pack a bag
Quetta shrinks behind me
i loved you
i miss you
the boat floats
the sky shines
end of scene
end of scene
the sky's light fades to black
i've been dropping pebbles
into the ocean
now the ocean's raging back
an approaching flag
blended through the blue
a young man from Iran
seemed to know where we went to...
...the Manus Island pigs
aimed right at his head
why must this be true?
Reza Berati's dead

hear the mirror talking back at you
feel the bright white tubes buzz
through the walls to light the porcelain
see the view from the windowless walls
man, it's sterile
the walls close in
i cannot blink
my teeth fall out
and i don't even think
there's a bomb i've got to defuse
there's two men in red who want me dead
and in a black sack
then they'll booze and booze
until the moon falls from the ceiling
the walls close in
i cannot blink
my teeth fall out
and i don't even think

I wish the juices to stop pumping
I wish the birches to bend
I wish the walls to stop thumping
I wish no sex were a trend
there she twirls
hovering before my eyes
with a knife
in her hair
reaching upwards for the skies
of the room
yes, I’ve been watching German porno through a wine glass
as ghosts flow from my shrinking cigarette
they find themselves pancaked against the ceiling
humming bass lines into a cassette
bloodstream is black and blue
bloodstream is me and you
vein the candle, melting wax
mud seeps through the injected cracks
the kids in the room above mine
won’t stop squealing tonight
the kids on the moon above shine
and flicker in bipolar light
emptiness
is a price one has to pay
for their years
of open eyes
see a statue made of clay
see its eyes
there’s vomit on the tiles of the shower
it hardens underneath my shadow’s sway
it’s red as any pulpy harpooned ankle
it’s dead as any statue made of clay
I’d like to be less cold
I’d like not to grow old
I’d like to smell the grass
several feet above my rotting mass
29 nails in my box
29 lovers by the bay
29 songs flow through the air
just one body ready to sail away
