I moved a boulder from new jersey to connecticut
took a couple months ‘cause the turnpike was shut down
split down the middle formed a cliff along the interstate
locate sherrif johnson tell him he should come to town
if you go
north to south
you will find my mother’s mouth
if you go
east to west
you will trace my lovers breast
found out where you went to that day we crossed the fire line
tucked away in hiding were you shivering in fear?
hold my hand sweet bonnie rest between the thighs of swollen time
ask me how my brothers up and stole my silver tears
if you go
north to south
she extends her furrowed brow
but if you go
east to west
the family lives upon the crest of
An anxious mother and prodigal child
silent father and roving mind
stacked like a totem leaning slight to the side
wouldn’t it be
cool to see
an apple grow up on the tree
for falling lends
a broken knee
to sit upon and gaze at me

find sorrow
friends follow suit
poor swallows
under your own boot
it’s time to reach the landing
over under barely standing
back to it
whipped by the sky
some comfort
dark cold fragile night
you say there’s nothing like it
and you may be right
the streetlights warm you nor choose to alarm you
the cars take their pleasure in taunting you
so do i
bus rider
keep it down because
he’s trying
to ignore the one
winter
where the
wind bit down on him
took his ear and
spit it back at him

Emotions and Math
by Margaret Glaspy
featured on Bandcamp Radio Jun 6, 2017
go to album
Recorded on the Grecian isle of Hydra, this is blissed-out psych pop with stacked falsetto harmonies and luscious arrangements.
go to album
Two dozen 12-string acoustic improvisations that feel undeniably haunting, like lost transmissions from ancient Appalachia, rediscovered.
go to album
Entirely analog, lush melodic pop with a tender heart from L.A. artist Human Barbie sounds bigger than the bedroom project it is.
