Last night I dreamed I was a comedian… Thursday , October 30, 2014 / Cologne, Germany #SchwervonPoetry

The corpse of CBGB’s
Will never rest in peace.
How long until the final morsel
Is picked from her bones?

Last night I dreamed
I was a comedian
Luckily I woke
before I had to to say anything
Funny

If the hole in the curtain
Is where you see things
Then through the hole in the curtain
Is how you will be seen

In Germany the beer is free
But you gotta pay to pee

When we wake on top of the Mountian
Life is about learning to fall

We see things electronically
It was always this way
Electric fire
Electric stars
Electric warriors
Electric bees

We sting with love
And our sparking silver tipped tails

Someone tore the wings from
My back
And replaced them with guitars

We mask the pain
With amplification
Bzzzzzzzz bzzzzzzzz

We suck the music from
Flowers

We infuse it
We use it

We never lose it

The meat of life is for sharing… Wednesday, October 29, 2014 / Lille, France #SchwervonPoetry

I am a bird
Kakaww. Kakaww.
L’oiseaux ce moi.

It’s a Charlie Brown
Kind of day.

There is alway a path for fear
Fear
Sometimes you can taste it
Like sugar in the frosting
Of an expensive pastery

And sometimes
it is a smell
Like the tired dead skin
That collects behind the ears
Of an old man

The greatest fear is that
It is all for nothing

All the work and the stress
Worth nothing more than the energy
Burned in the process

It is why some live their lives
As though they were being filmed
Each second
of each day

We fill our blood with fire
And dance away the monster
We let our hearts share the space

The meat of life is for sharing
We consume our little deaths
Together, with strangers, like family
Like music.

Here are a handful of pictures from the first three weeks of the tour. I’ve tried to arrange them as chronologically as I can remember. It’s been great reconnecting with old friends as well as making lots of new ones. Tomorrow we head for Lille, France where we meet up with our old pal BP, who will be driving us for the mainland Europe part of the tour. See you soon Germany. Enjoy the pics!
