[audio:http://donalkelly.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Broodeye.mp3|titles=I’m Not There] you’ve come this far doing what you can don’t forget to turn the lights off when you leave your master plan is an also-ran and you know just about as much as you are led to believe what is it that drives you on and drives you out of sight? How can…
fire below zero
Stars beyond the street lights Ice settled on the road December silently cold Tell tale signs of a heart on fire Will it keep me warm on the way home? Make up for lost jackets and hours? Or will it only fall into emotional fission Tear apart the meaning of things Mindful as ever, Tripping…
Off the Ledge
Demo:[audio:http://donalkelly.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/FallingNotFlying4.mp3|titles=Off the Ledge] G E F Fell out of a window G E F Fell way out into the sea Where waves of isolation Drag everything away from me Thought I heard a bird sing But it was your alarm ring Just ready to forgive me Still swallowed by the tide so deep, yeah Fell…
Showtime
Demo: [audio:http://donalkelly.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Show.mp3|titles=Show] Leave your shack, Can’t look back, Feet falling as they cover cracks Time to move my mindset, and move it right Fight the dying rays of this fading light So you’re so young now But it won’t last long This weak old man was once just as strong Gather up those thoughts Harvest…
Singalong Blues
[audio:http://donalkelly.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/SINGAL.mp3|titles=Singalong Blues (Take 1)] Am G F#/G If you had heard half a song, Turned and went to run, A road that stretches on and on, Before your days are done. If you had listened for a while, Felt the beat and call, Fought for miles, sat down to sigh, Where the dew will fall.…
Now and Then
Sleepwalking, Eavesdropping- Move on by Keep talking, Eyes moving, Come on in. Still standing, Crash landing, Cannot fly Find something Gone missing, Now and then.
Fit to flatline
flatline flatline everybody’s lost time flatline fast crime find fault- all mine now repeat after me what a shock it was no respect left to see and don’t ask because spent kids, spent kids, can’t you pay the rent kids smashed lids low bids can’t expect the best ends now you see what I say…
Note to self: Note to self! (Life is a form of entertainment)
the instructions are buffered he noted we muttered- we are tourists in our own lives, and passing through with parsing eyes, already out of date. We were best before- We are best before, the instructions are stored, and we are to others, to ourselves. Memory corrupted, The endgame erupted, Without noise or moment, Into it,…
The Smell of Fish
Oily edged liquidy sickness. Cold fingers holding gut, Coiling a knot and not knowing it. Not knowing it, Not knowing anything Instant Education in remission Value multiplied by time Meaning and significance, Laid side by side in brine… Mottos and metaphors melt, Into muck and the melody The smell of fish and cold fingers Peering…
Brump
crunch it up and throw it out where it is when you’re not about driving home and i’m driving on with a head of air in sand Buried there by my own hand Tear it off and burn it down Why it still smokes when you’re not around Smiling face in the darkest place With…
Keep it coming
Trundling a bundle on, Pushing the covered wagon Feet dragging, toes digging into the earth. The sun obscured and hidden Dry throat rasping in the parched air Music retreats in the distance Fumbling the simple things Staying distant and affected Mind sagging, flows right into the worth Recapture the fading flame Burn it bright and…
Blunk… (Blog+Junk)
contact, no contact- slip away counting, no counting- not today closer, no closer- giving way trying, not trying- hard to say packed bags picking scabs stood too still to stay the past chimes with future crimes built from the same foray echos, ripples, rivers, givers words sunk between the current life amuk arise good luck…
Live and Learn
Reality crunchin downwards, Spitting shards strike pure. Sudden-stop momentum, Heart now moved for sure. Motion burned in anger, Vented in vacant space. Twisted waiting danger, Resltess smiling face Instinct taking over, Trust suspended low. The self withheld and sober, The self, at speed, to go. No meaning preaching feeling, No mission reaching out. Drums beating…
Pains for gains.
Pain is a funny thing, Screaming voice to stop Whatever you are doing Now until it leaves Many different types Gangs of mutual enemies Super villan collections For every possible weakness Like everything bar habit Quickly forgotten, State of being Cannot be maintained Oncoming buzz of the physical Heavy dread of coiled anxiety Angry biting…
Dripterium Tremendum
Forget For old times sake Forget Let the self dissolve Stand in the river of time and pay attention No preaching now Only Reaching out and leaning Windswept and honest Neglect For no one cause Questions raindrops keeping pace Osmosis in the end I will take a slower line Shuffle along a narrow path Looking…
Grumpletilt Mumbles Anew
in from the wild the cold, the child a signal born a signal filed when everything you do or say is recorded, reported, distorted when everything you touch today is broken, mislaid, contorted and everyone you try to turn to turns away from you instead maybe you built it up on your own alone inside…
Working Man
Not as if it’s real work either, hunched over a keyboard Trying not to drift To another website found forgotten What I wouldn’t give for the ache of an honest day Shovelling shit into a ditch or aiming some loud machine But that would last five minutes, and then Back to the comfort of a…
Hand to Foot in Mouth
Hand to foot in mouth, Leg to lean about Clumsy stilted awkward tries Arm to shoot and point Head to air annoint Relaxed forgetful onward flies hand to foot in mouth Voice to cast it out Surprise surmised in medium size
Incredible Developments Afoot
Since nobody reads anything except the headlines, I can put anything here in the body. Since the world is a stagnent overflow of steaming information, I can expect to be lost in its mass. My, hasn’t everything changed so much in the last few decades. I cannot keep apace. I am stripped of a general…
