two emotions become one (an invisible audience listening to itself)

from logos, eros, cosmos by yugenro

about

The central opus of this album. Opens with Wallace Stevens reciting a passage from his powerful poetic statement on the relationship between the artist and her world, The Idea of Order at Key West. Then brings it all together... all the ideas (logos) and senses (eros), and combines them into a cohesive blend of both that transcends the sum of its parts. This track points the way to the next evolutionary step for humanity...

lyrics

"She was the single artificer of the world
In which she sang. And when she sang, the sea,
Whatever self it had, became the self
That was her song, for she was the maker. Then we,
As we beheld her striding there alone,
Knew that there never was a world for her
Except the one she sang and, singing, made."

there never was a time when i didn't know you
no start to this song that's always weaving itself in and out of my life
and fills those neverworlds between sleep and wake...

the slow ululations at the front of your neck
drive the blood thru my veins
where tiny granules of you-scented air
ride red cars to every atom of my being
passengers spill out without even stopping
and ride home brimming with the culminations of the day
in a journey without end...

every moment i find my world reminding me of you
everybody i see looks back at me thru your eyes
and we bounce back and forth retina-to-retina
(inhuman voices rainbow-resonant)

the sizzle of tires thru dreary winter streets
is you sniggling at our unspoken wordplay
your lips to my loneliness shush and sing
of lush Melanesian foliage,
lotus-eaters and the sharing of warm cocoons...

I thirst!
and with quenching gurgles drink you in
Your smile!
in my belly clears away all cloud with purity

tense meetings with the world draw you glistening out my pores
where your breath tugs at my follicles
and cooools me...

your fingertips gently up my spine
pause at the nape to warm and ready a spot
then slowly snuggle your nose there and sleep...

(and my sleep is shaped by your dreamy closeness...)

i float before the earth and witness the potential
hidden between vast mountains of living soil
and thru these unseen spaces
run fibers of the grand network of your close, latent intuition

the heat of your spirit rages
in waves heard by neighboring planets
entire continents are just the ruins of the clashing factions of your soil
entire galaxies are just the remnants of the clashing passions of your soul

... it is simply that we grew one out of the other,
and in the birth have forgotten our identity,
and that, when we are immediate, we remember.

you bring me home to that silly laugh that builds strength,
that creates these goofy worlds where my head's always brainless,
and i walk from the bottom of my gut
thru the roofless expanses of moon and sky...

where the mountains are my friends
are just an aspect of me is just an aspect of you...

and all the senseless doings of people,
and all the faulty logic of science,
and all the love gained and lost between beaten, beautiful, and blood-stained hearts mean everything and nothing...

because it's all called forth by the joy of being alive
in the same universe as you...

about

yugenro Seattle, Washington

I teach people how to use computers and software. I listen to a LOT of music. I explore consciousness and my pallette. I observe, organize, and categorize. I read and watch lots of space and sci-fi stuff.

I dream of doing nothing other than making music and floating in zero-g. :-)
