A broken candle lit at both ends thrown away into the fire the rhythm of wind against the curtains at night sixteen shades of black unfolding into one another a promise now broken dried semen on the chest a lie uncovered exposed roots dead in the sun end of summer end of autum -------------------------------------------- life resentment refusing the right to use one's legs eating fruit out of spite to remain quiet like a dead gull at low tide the body asks for another the shoulders, an encircling arm the neck for teeth deny all requests refuse all takers the token of guilt the reward of regret -------------------------------------------- a pair of die blind cast aside double zero each roll cigarette burns on the wrist the hollow debt of longing -------------------------------------------- a neon cross against black trees the river the hill come home come home come home blink once for "yes" twice for "no"

credits

released October 6, 2023

Thank you, as always, to Scott for believing in this project, and by extension, me. You already said this tape is different from most other STRAIGHT PANIC releases—and it is—but it's also somehow still STRAIGHT PANIC, and I'm glad you dig it. I'm always honored to be a part of the Petite Soles / Blamage Books family.

Thank you to Laurel for the Dr. James Dobson "Focus On The Family" 12xCS + transcript boxset. Been planning this track since the moment you handed that to me at the Broadway (18 June 2022). I couldn't have made the first track without that most generous gift!*

Thank you, always and forever, to "Uncle Nicky" Colucci. Your continued friendship and support has kept me mentally grounded more than you might realize over these last few years. Shit's been tough all over! But you're a real one, and 9 times out of 10, you can make me laugh even at my lowest moments, and that shit matters.

Thank you to Andrew and GC (DSMIII) and Jimmy (SWOLLEN ORGANS) for coming to Providence. You NYC cats are spoiled, so it means a lot to us when y'all hit PVD. We aren't that far apart, which means a lot of shit skips us, which by extension means I miss seeing cool shit. Whatever, that's life, but I'm glad y'all stuck it out and were down to make shit happen (arguably the local gig of the year)! Additional thanks to Andy, 'cause homie, no shame, but I don't think we could have pulled that off by ourselves. TEAMWORK MADE THE DREAM WORK.

Thank you to Gonzo. We may have gotten divorced, but it was definitely the right call, 'cause I feel like we're actually friends again, and that shit means a lot to me.

Last but absolutely not least, thank you to Craig, for helping me get some much needed perspective, and giving me back some space to find comfort and security with and about myself. You're confoundingly sweet to me, astoundingly welcoming, beyond easy to be around, sexier than 1980s John Goodman crossed with 2008 Vincent D'onofrio, an absolute weirdo, and I wouldn't change a damn thing about you, you scruffy reprobate. XO

*well, I maybe could have, but it would have been far less fun to do it all digitally.
