Travel Advertisement Listen to Seth read “Travel Advertisement”
Walking through the cosmos We’ll strap stars to our sneakers, Tenderly acquaint The awkward joints of our bodies With dustless angel arms And lift off, clearheaded, Into the night.
The road we take may seem familiar, The dead walk it daily And it runs through your dreams Dotting that intricate country With sure signs of travel. The same road you wandered as a child Standing on its special surface Lost but not alone.
Tonight we’ll follow it through the layers Of the world. You and I and the treacherous dark Dancing beyond boundaries, Cradled in the heart of planets, Rushing past blazing clusters, Following the crystal footprints of creation Back to that bright beginning From which we all once traveled Before we ever knew directions Or the purpose of goodbyes.
Listen to Seth read “Jolt”
Jolt Longing is white like the wind And it comes Tearing up the house, Overturning our perfect arrangements, Sending its music Straight into the heart Of our soiled lives.
No window can shut out its coming. No door can block its full advance. It comes like a mythic apprehension, Like a jolt From the machinery of God.
Over the seamless threads of existence, Over the seamless skeletons of dream, It batters, burns and breaks Ripping out from inside our bodies Our flimsy sense of self, Leaving in its wake A headful of fire.
