about

Invocation to Sun Ra, loosely based on the Pharoah Akhenaten's 'Hymn to the Sun' (1350BC).

lyrics

Know life echoes in sound and wild projections
far beyond this first incarnation.
Any trace of root brings the whole plant back.

Know all creatures instinctively fall asleep
when night dissolves the setting sun
like an aspirin dropped in dark water.

Know the dandelion lifts its sun-face
among concrete, wild clover and meadow-grass
no matter how often its stem is cut.

Know life echoes in sound and wild projections
far beyond this first incarnation.
Any trace of root brings the whole plant back.

*

everything is alive in the velocity of light
everything is alive in the velocity of light

but birds do not startle in their nests
or lose their footing on telegraph wires

everything is alive in the velocity of light

birds ruffle and cleanse unfolded wings
warm their speckled eggs in boughs

everything is alive in the velocity of light

while the sun's gently warming rays
travel ninety-three million miles

everything is alive in the velocity of light
everything is alive in the velocity of light

travel ninety-three million miles
across our nearest star's heliocentric space

everything is alive in the velocity of light

to spark against hard stones on Earth
& ignite lush fires in these wet fields

everything is alive in the velocity of light
everything is alive in the velocity of light
