big howl
no cork in my throat
just a howling feeling
big howl
no quivering tongue
just a howling feeling
when i close my eyes
im big and strong
and the sun is bright
til i open them.
fuck i lose sight of my plan
and the hour is heavy in hand
so i pry
and get up in my head
im ripping my brain out
big howl
when i climb the tree
and reach out for
the highest branch
im almost there
when the sap gets all over my hands
and pine needles are poking my knees
so i whine
and tear at my chest
im ripping my lungs out
big howl
tree limbs coddle me and climbing up i remain
coddled by the branches of the tree that's beckoning
cooing, safely empty effort curse
a big howl building up in me like a burp... HICK-UP!
---------------------------------------
wish i had a dog
i dont have a dog but i will one day
job, i dont have a job
i dont really want one anyway
girl, think i want a girl?
yelling in my ear on the bad days
dog, think i need a dog
think ill get a dog to fill my days
a dog named achoo
say god bless you!
a dog won't be rude
just a bit unnerving
a dog can be true
but even a dog wont like you... ARF
The new EP from the aptly named regal murk is a striking piece of work, thick rivers of guitar swallowing tender vocal melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 24, 2022
