I've allowed these sounds space To find a home in between my ears Metal Machine Music of the Spheres Bass digging deep, rattling intestines Unfamiliar sounds to boggle the mind Calm the beast and soothe the breast No catgut drawn across string Or human muscle powering the beat Electricity, electronic alchemy Like lightning streaking across the night sky Left to right, blink and you'll miss it Sonic ice, freezing sheen, dripping into sharp daggers They fall and impale This is the sound they make When cold first hits the brain
