BLACK TEARS FROM MY SORROWFUL QUILL let them die with you, love, now you are dead, the affections that long for you in vain, the eyes which you deprive of seeing beautiful light that you once spread. let this unfortunate lyre die, the echoes you influenced, crying in despair, and let these awkward prints remain black tears from my sorrowful quill. let death itself feel compassion and regret it could not spare you, and let love lament its bitter fate if once, ambitious to enjoy you, it wished for the eyes to see you, well now they’d only serve to mourn you.

THERE IS A LIGHT there is a radiant light that calls me to dance around it like a dragonfly on water I approach with the prudence of someone who has been wounded with the certainty that my wings will not go undefeated in this dance I take a chance I dance like a dragonfly that seeks to make the mermaid, hiding under water, fall in love seduced by the light, I search for its center I make my way through tongues of fire I will burn I know it well but I will penetrate to where desire is born

Caricias 02:48
CARESSES man with mountain hands veins, surging like rivers, in waves of flesh I was born to entangle in your footprints I am a sleeping girl floating in your palm heat of your volcanic pulse tiding my skin with your drowned touch rising, until releasing my original tremor that opens when the earth shakes my body transformed in your hands

I want him to come with flowers in his heart with all his heart I want him to talk to my body

SLEEP, MY LITTLE CHILD sleep, my little child don't wake up, my son sleep, sleep, my little one don't wake up, my dear little one don't wake up, my dear son sleep, sleep my little child

about

"Caricias is fascinating, not fitting into any neat genres or boxes. You get the drift: this is fieldwork turned into contemporary, experimental folk song." - Songlines
