Lyrics

Hexahedrons of wood and glass
Scarcely bigger than a shoe-box
With room in them for night and all its lights
Monuments to every moment
Refuse of every moment
Used: cages for infinity
Marbles, buttons, thimbles, dice
Pins, stamps and glass beads
Tales of the time
Memory weaves, unweaves the echoes
In the four corners of the box
Shadowless ladies play at hide-and-seek
Fire buried in the mirror
Water sleeping in the agate
Solos of Jenny Colonne and Jenny Lind
Ah-
"One has to commit a painting" said Degras
"The way one commits a crime"
But you constructed boxes
Where things hurry away
Hurry away from their names
Slot machines of visions
Condensation flask for conversations
Hotel of crrrickets and constellations
Minimal incoherent fragments
The opposite of history
Creator of ruins
Out of your ruins
Out of your ruins
You have made
You have made
Creations
