about

Received under water,
in the bellingen river.
Recorded in a small room in tring, london.

lyrics

From red clay,
thought awake.

Hear songs of the ancient,
brown skin the bark,
rough skin the rock.
A whisper from the desert heart.

Earth snake belly swells with breath,
flesh powdered, vibrant.
Rainbow serpent eyes open.
Dreaming begins.

Eyes wide shimmering,
body of earth is filled with light.
The rainbow serpent dreams.

Her scales, brilliant,
iridescent,
each scale a mirror,
reflecting countless faces.

And i marionet and mask,
mind spun on a loom of dust.
Watch as the tail,
cuts like a blade.
Where spirit sings the body awake.

Alive in each cell,
calling me to surrender to:-

Earth, water, fire, air.
Inviting the elements to take back this flesh.
Resonating with the humming drone of cicadas.

I am the wasps nest,
the warm breast,
the spiral horn,
the yellow corn.
With eyes of leaves.
Where sunlight dapples the ground,
and the totems of my dreaming lie scattered round,
in the scarlet shadows.
Gentle, new as the spring.

I watch them become dense to flesh,
goanna, wallaby, brolga.
Dancing on the rainbow serpent coils.
Who dwells where birds swim and fish fly.
Whose smile arcs the sky.
Whose iridescent scales fall as rain,
and the red earth is nourished again.
And the earth is awake.
And the earth is awake.
And the earth is awake.
