lyrics

sea monster gods
chorus lyric from Paul Celan's "Psalm"

I know better
and you know better
we should throw our treasure
at the open mouths of sea monster gods
girl we can trade
an ancient cask of strong fear
into modern work
loose the fount and
do it like (it's your) a career

"praised be you, noone"

tell me: who could carry
a life untethered to Leviathan?
you see all of them doing it:
they're just showing off their granaries
we all know better
than to genuflect before
anyone
but sea monster gods
their blue and grey eyes
are easy now to see
and we've all grown a bit too flush
to scratch at invisibility​

"let us return to earth, to fear, to loam"
