Retrospective Blues Lyrics by Keaten Clarno

0

Deceptively pellucid –
Bathing in the waters of retrospection
Sink the head below
A new realm, quasi-lucid
Sounds attenuated,
Hollow –
An impression of the world beyond
From which only whispers are stated
It dances the periphery of awareness
Looking back through glassy water,
Light diffracting; via illusion,
It's entertaining
Clear waters never greet in
Real-time –
An inexplicable containment
Holes, the eyеs drill
Forward and backward;
Only the latter grants clear sight
Of what did and did not cross thе line
Soaking in this experience,
It seeps into the being
Pull the head under, breathe in the waters
The rush of a bracing breath of air
Flooding the lungs,
Spreading –
Through the tips of the fingers and toes,
Every single hair
Why does it bring reminder of the
Liquid within veins, creeping, crawling..
Cold like death,
It swallows me whole
Turning blue now, a ghastly hue
Realized in the tub is a shriveled prune
Skin flooded with crevices
A tired, old, melancholy-bearing thing
That only wishes someone knew
Each of its idiosyncrasies
These bodily ruts, wanting again
Wanting someone to burrow within
Dive back into phenomenological waters
To create memories anew
Treading skin and essence
Feel an unbridled presence
Welcome in –
The retrospective blues
Subjective gifts from beyond the barrier
I will welcome you
I will be there,
Luring you in with this ragged fruit
Let us meet at the edge of memories
For our well-being’s sake
Where the present and past come
To mingle –
That's where, again, I shall see you
In the blue waters of Memorial Lake
It's been a long while
Each of us reborn, something new
I can hardly reconcile
What each of us has become
Against what I once thought I knew
The Platonic ideal of beauty in view
That only you can beckon:
Sing to me, and I will run
Until I meet you under the sun,
Together –
We'll swim in these waters
Out and out until we meet the sky
From my being to yours,
We'll meet on the edges of Goodbye
A horizon –
Ablaze, blushing, confused
In every action, in all that it should do
Still, it gives us this disguise
To alleviate our retrospective blues
In these semi-fugal waters,
We wash ourselves, too
It's only for a brief time,
An instant so bright
That, though we are renewed,
I am left with a distant whisper
In my mind,
Begging –
“Was any of it true?
And if not, why can't I shake this
Phantom memory of you?”
From these waters, I rise
Something foreign, something imbued
With a timeless yearning –
It's unmistakably true –
For the next compelling guise
Unwittingly, I will scour this life
With desperate eyes
