sound the bell: it's early morning! half an hour of waking up to intermittent chimes adorning two phone alarms playing at once

i barely know who you are could it have been you in that car? did you catch me, crossing Cherry singing with my mouth shaped like a choir boy O! or doctor’s check-up Ah! i could daydream salt marsh making out instead i think about running into you around the dairy aisle or by crabapple pile it’s sweeter to not know i wonder because it’s fun and in that moment uncharted would it leave you with an imprint would you drive home thinking something new
4.
is this loud enough for you? i am not a freight train, barreling through private, but to be both seen and heard here i come: breakfast fish O, be careful for what you wish! i am canned sardine, spoon-flattened on weak, white loaves of bread when you see yourself in every space i wonder where i fit into place throw me into Relief they will portray me how can i portray me?
5.
eyes open with a string of questions like horses behind a gate, trying to bolt away there are trains in my head that move in a flash or in slow motion

all the 2s 02:50
your noon/my nine my three/your five i still keep the image of you, meandering on the path up ahead green leaves shine over me the street is wet the street is black we trace invisible braids like DNA, sizzling in what was left from the rain sweet dream melts from under me my face is wet you're lying on my back where you shape invisible songs on my little wings humming into what was left

kulning 01:33
before an open field, calling out in song to the other side of the pasture where i stand, regal in my posture how many versions am i after? in all versions, there is laughter small figure in the distance: a self i cannot recognize yet, but stepping over yellow and green, coming back home

about

seven diary recordings from 2017-18

tracks 2,4,5, and 7 are the results of a song-a-week project with my friend matt. low pressure, encouraging, and just what i needed. thanks, matt!

although the live performances of these songs have changed, it feels urgent for me to let go of these melodies/sentiments and more important to preserve the sound of the room in which i was also living at the time of recording than to share a "finalized" sonic idea. maybe now my priorities will explain the sloppiness of it all. like, our planet is straightup dying! there's not enough time and i got other shit to do <3

anyway, here's a platter of sound and feeling about sweetness, fantasy, negative ideation, self-esteem, and imagining our future selves.

buen provecho,
z
