blood flight - jenny hval lyrics

Loading...

i carefully rearranged my senses
so they could have a conversation
taught them to switch places;
from each pore in my skin grew shimmering eyes!
and fingerprints filled the eye sockets

from the ears grew two tongues
and i sang for people p-ssing a strange song
told them stories without moving my lips!
(mouth half-open, still)
they -ssumed the words came from themselves;
these unfamiliar thoughts

and i sang to them:
aaaaaa aaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaa

such is the speech of the body:
the ribs painted their fingernails
(black! of course)
and on the edges of the c-nt
grew little t–th!
the cl-toris, that great sphinx, opened its eye:
so many blind years, acting oedipus

meanwhile the vocal chords were listening
for the wind howling

whispering a familiar language of breath –
secret tales for them to learn
then from my veins came a strange itching
and i felt a pull through the shoulder blades
i should have seen it coming!
the blood was itching!
and etched a hole at the nape of the neck

it flew out into the night
like a long, red ribbon to the sky

and up we went, blood and i, spread over the city
the dark sky lay against my skin
so close –
like an eyelid
