reversal - divide and dissolve lyrics
when i look at it it is cold
you have to heat it a little so that it starts to light up like hot metal does
when i begin to mold it, only then do i feel that it has been in the mouth of countless others, that it is slipping from mouth to mouth as language does to stay alive
it enters me like ink in the water:
it fills the sp-ce with the echoes that ride upon the coattails of words
these echoes: the din of it rises gradually in my mind like the racket of insects after the rain; first one, and then countless contributions
you have to teach yourself how to listen to it
by using english, i have let out many violent spirits
words that i trusted would in english fling themselves against the wall: more often than not i chose not to speak it
like a redirected ray the immigrant mind turns inward as if an enormous mirror comes down the moment you arrive
it drops like a giant rodent trap–– and forever divides time
in this way, you cannot lose what you had
you live forever within it and through its was you see everything beyond––
as the words fell before me in a motion much like dominos falling and the picture that english painted became larger and larger and larger, i realized there was a mania to it, that i needed to be very careful with the people, who may be suffering due to the very same thing that will one day cause the language to collapse
even in my thoughts
i must be vigilant about the words i’m using
people are visibly lying to themselves and each other
so i see that no one really tells the story of english:
when it is released from the belly of the squid and it blinds you in the
water you have to give it to english: and its unctuous dark wealth
you step onto it, at it is it is like a rope bridge, with the fog so thick that there is no top or bottom, beginning or end, and you coax yourself on, thinking at some point you may reach the other side––
that is this language––
whose shape is still morphing, becoming at once more beautiful in its own eyes
and more and more horrifying
at some point it will collapse, but right now english is the host of
something people are just learning to fear
but i can see that violence has rolled down these hills like the morning dew
i can see that there is a reversal coming
i have come because it is my job to announce it
