The Wanderer
Kid A
"Ice Age Atom Bomb"
fresh soul, thirsts
to awaken now
claw out of another dream
across the fractured space in your mind
center gravity in your slithering spine
disease of the light-hearted sun,
clouds my soft-lit vision
an axe thru your subzero conscience
God spins away
darkness wraps you in out-stretched arms
sleep stalks the hydrogen plumes of mercury
dream sequence spills around you
stabbing rays of the sun,
cut and bleed your polarized soul
God clots the wounds
as Satan swarms to drain the twilight
They tear you in two
drifting star bleats
sheepskin shed
spawn again sweet nothing
lost in space
you will never find me
I am echoing thru my time...
listen to me
voice inside you
like a buzzsaw
you will bleed
for me,
into me
in the center of the earth
the magma swelters and swirls
naked ghosts burnt to the ground
ice pours thru the cracks above
cut down your frosted limbs
volcanic ice storm siphons,
vacuum peaks with hovering halos...
trying to stand the pain of emptiness
pagan Gods and pollination showers
no shelter...
from the vampire sonnets,
closing in on epilogue
falling ice
jagged teeth of misogyny
snow capped ulcers blister and crack
dark wombs of the martyr
beneath the ice you slide away
plummeting with ecstasy
you wish
upon the stars
to lift you up
and set you free
your death was a shadow in time
life was a space between the shadows
ice age revolution ------> to the atom bomb evolution

I was looking at the cover of Radiohead's Kid A when I wrote this, while soaking up the atmosphere in those songs, and listening to a Smashing Pumpkins song called "Glass and the Ghost Children" when I finished writing the last few lines...
certain songs and images bend my thoughts in all sorts of ways, I was wondering if anyone else listened to music while they tried to write down their thoughts, and if it effects your writing the way it effects mine?
