about

"DEATH HOVERS" is my satirical attempt at writing metaphysical erotica in the purposefully ultra-verbose high-brow style of an outrageous poet such as Walt Whitman or Allen Ginsberg. Enjoy.

Synthesizers: Moog POLYMOOG 203A, Sequential PROPHET-5. Effect: Eventide HARMONIZER. Electronic Percussion: Linn LINNDRUM, Pollard SYNDRUM QUAD.

lyrics

"DEATH HOVERS"

Trees with black bark and veins of fire form an erect silhouette.

The orange October moon fills with menace.
The graveyard delivers the privacy it promised to lend us.
As night creatures chorus their invitation,
Gravel crackles under the gravity of the situation.

Death hovers above the groin,
Blood pumping like the flip of a coin.

She swerves between tombstones, crushing dead flowers!
She slams the brake and prepares for seduction in the witching hour!
She unbuckles my belt; she unzips my leather;
She gazes on my jewels, leaving little doubt as to whether…

Death hovers above the groin,
Her mouth and my member join.

Faster and faster as climax grows nearer,
Ghosts of former lovers haunt the rear view mirror!

Around the world with satyr nine skin,
Anticipating peristalsis, she vaults upon me, and I slide in.
Thirteen black roses for my bouncing bride!
Throbbing deep in her demise, cadaverous comets collide.

Death hovers above the groin,
Consummated in tender loins.
