lyrics

Dogs.

Your smile glared
No idea
You were dead inside
You have such radiant eyes
Framed like an owl’s
Where you can’t avoid feeling followed
By them
1500 miles away they watch me
Chopping carrots
Chastising my cat
For drowning her toys
Watching a boring comedienne
Dying
With a laugh that has the texture of
Imaginary sun

Maybe we're all dogs howling
At owls we think are calling

So never mind
I shall sleep now
So your eyes cannot follow me further
Into the area where I know too much
Your extinction glaring like a rain starved fire
Your disgusting habit
Making me shave you
For far too much money
While I imagine the poetry of your privacy
Precisely written in DNA
To be some glaring hieroglyphs
Dispensing lazy eyed bared teeth
We all must reach

To say

Stop

The broken sunlight

Scatters across the crease

Of a barbaric beach

Stop

Look

Listen

Retreat.

Maybe we're all dogs howling
At owls we think are calling.

about

ANTHONY XAVIER JACKSON California


I am a spoken word artist whose passion is music. I use a variety of media to render my works, including traditional instrumentation such as guitar, bass and drums. I also employ synths and all the tools of my DAW to make improv pieces to back my poetry.
LPD, Burroughs, Tear Garden, Watts Prophets, Last Poets, Radiohead… so many influences.
Enjoy.
