Mord Records News

what matters most is how well you walk through the fire.

If you decide,
take us
who stand and smoke and glower;
we are rusty with sadness
and
feverish
with climbing broken ladders

you are much more than simply dead:
I am a dish for your ashes,

feeling shadows,
it is morning.

Distort with scornful strident cries
The tragic masks of tortured stones
Plunging form the scouring seas
To the magnetic turning sun

2026 Repress

Breakthroughs,
flips and crucifixions.
Highs, epiphanies, despairs.
Ten years' animal screams
and virgin suicides.
Mad generation and us,
down on the rocks of time.

and even the trees we walked
under
seemed
less than
trees
and more like everything
else.
***

The morning kept coming on in and there was nothing we could do.

as the shadows assume
shapes
we fight the slow
retreat

***
We only asked for leopards
to guard
our thinning dreams.
Run with the hunted.
***

there's no clarity.
there was never meant to be clarity.

***
My heart is a thousand years old.
I am not like other people.
***

The place is now
let us accept the time forever
and you'll wear your silver shoes.

2025 repress !

I walked away from the mirror.
It was morning, it was afternoon,
it was night.

Nothing changed,
it was locked in place.

I was born for this.
Shot like a flower in the dance.

I left behind
My breath was iced,

Sunshine, laughter, mad desires.
Snow in my shoe, lucid skies.
Morning light on iron sand,
in the depths of the sea I bleed.

an ingress of novelty,
under austere skies,
the spirits of the city awaken...

without windows,
lost words.

when the phone rings
I too would like to hear words
that might ease
some of this.
***

***
the whole world is caught
in her glance
and at last
the universe is
magnificent.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieve it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Words,
older.
Drowning,
rowing.

Solitary shadows.
Taking their last breaths
in the fading fire.
Lust and lavish beatings,
slipping away slowly.

we said nothing
zero seconds ago

And as our grief falls flat and hollow
upon the billion-blooded sea,
I cry when it's fashionable to laugh,
I am old when it's fashionable to be young.

Fragments of our mighty voice,
our blood is like tears.
Above us shook the starry sky.
Desolate are the hours

after this long fight
I have no intention of
quitting short.
or late.
or satisfied.

I have no words, no tears.
My heart within me like a stone
Is numbed too much for hopes or fears;
Look right, look left, I dwell alone.

To sleep all day,
to weep all night;
to gamble everything.
I'm leaving today.

Marching feet at dawn,
walking off the earth.
Two roads diverged,
I took the one less traveled by.
