Port of the Sun & take down UAV - Cynocephali - cdr
Mastered by Ben L. Robertson. Unexpurgated live take down the sun set at Honey from the Dead King, Hall of the Woods, 6.26.09. Dionysian diaspora swept up in sonic rebaptizations in this anthem to vibrational chaosemiotics. Unmapped intestinal labyrinths of the dark interior of the body. Monsters enthroned. Ejacula extinguishing flames. A synaesthesic squall of peripheral canids snarling at epileptoid cartographers. Artaud sailing for Acheron on a raft made of laughter. Civilization perforated with maggot holes. Wet nightmares.
Available.

Track: Weltende
A child’s music box lullabye to the end of the world.
Tsunamis swallow urbanscapes entire in tongues of blue froth.
Concrete crushed like styrofoam.
Locomotives and other megafaunic machinery corroding in the leviathanic swells.
A nuclear sun rises in the west.
We, gazing up into that dazzling void of light, are swept away.
Fragments of human bodies, heaped by the storm, form unprecedented eroticisms.
Raise your glasses: a toast to the last night of your life.

excerpt from 'magician,' soundscape for the infamous blindfolded audience performance, in which poems from Black Hills Cabal were read in tandem with PotS collaborator Heron, as well as the unpublished Steeds of Apollo:
Steeds of Apollo
One breath risen, one breath sunk
While hauling a bull and backing over the dust and crumbled leaves and scattered fag-ends of sparrow’s nests and small bones and other microcosms, the fairgrounds’ hand tipped the top-heavy trailer on the lee of a water ditch and loosed a bull.
Hundreds of sunday fairgoers dropped their mouths & sprained themselves fleeing;
In hoof prints the tryst was writ.
Dazed and stumbling from his haphazard escape, &
Disoriented by screeching mothers and other loathesome victuals of kulture,
Or fain with the freedom which knew naught of freedom,
The bull launched his sixteen-hundred-pound bulk forthwise into the crowd.
Bestial associations such as might in the dizzying labyrinths of memory hearken mother’s birth-blood or other baths,
Sponging the abdomen of my first-born or another girl
Whose name Apollo chants to urge his chariot on:
She once was a true love of mine.
But rode off on a cumulous railcar,
And a decade later, gagged leaning over a terrace in the south, toppled like a trailer in the gangled squid-sun
And hung herself, red scarf, the one i used to bind her
In those sinew-slung days before.
Then there came a breath, not pulled by the diaphragm but palpitating from the heart,
Heart drowning in its winecolored juices,
A breath that drags downward in the shape of a hanged woman.
So the bull raged around a while,
Head lowered,
Haunches branded with a southern ranch’s emblem,
And twitching charged a few fellows in the crowd
Who in matadorian pirouettes like fine faena managed to avoid a good goring
But then the Taurus froze,
Mesmered by the unparalleled red of one dusty fire hydrant.
Horned Titans, what compels you?
Memories of Pasiphae, mother to Asterion,
Or desperate nostalgia for a sun-lit womb?
O unassailable blood
Frantic
Pure and purifying substance
Pulsing
Kin to mother’s milk & charcoal’d pearl;
There it stood, like a resplendent inflamed lingham, glorious
As heaven’s tower afire
Enraging—
The bull gave forth a snort and rammed it at a full run,
Cracked his skull-plate and perished instantly.
The toppled hydrant sent up a fountain of pink.
Desire, electric force urging the heart:
One breath sunk, and another:
Rosetinted
Thirsting
Shooting upward
Aimed beyond the limit it must inevitably reach,
Ascending skyward through the wasted cavern of brains toward the royal chair
Where fever caresses cumulous,
Where spectral hooves track mush through the sky,
And the sun drags its red noose toward night.
The children took off their clothes and scurried laughing into the pink mists.
One small girl-child even kissed the sleeping hulk.
She once was a true love of mine.

Artaud Assemblage by Port of the Sun
Soundtrack to the newly deceased being baptized in the river Styx, while living shamen ply those waters on rafts of mirrors; to worms carving slow-motion tunnelways through the subworld, leaving porous three-dimensional sigils in their wakes. Ode to pillars of flame burning upward and columns of rain pouring down, contradictory elemental verticalities. To drear post-plague years when locust husks are all you get for dinner.
