Wow some great Listening Test Responses to the new stumblesome record have been coming in! “Mussel Memories Workout Challenge” and most of the stumblesome back catalogue available at stumblesome.bandcamp.com
“tough guys don’t need to breathe” by stumblesome.
This is a collection of fits, starts, demos, live recordings and whatever could be salvaged in the years after the avalanche. Circa 2003-2010.
Its all clear from here on out, we open skies with our mouth
I’ve got nothing but friendships left to save, I’m feeling unsafe as if the road below could go sinkhole at any moment
As if the part of you that’s endless never got the memo so you sidestep the whole investment for the sake of invention
opening a vacuum sealed can of wormholes
tough to iron them folds
i am reconsidering my position on the issue
revisiting decisions on what to commit to
i am reconsidering my yesses
wishing i had more nos
my thought trees grow
emotive winds blow
the penninsula opens up to a sweet cove
we know we’ll get to the bottom of every old
issue reopen the buy in is sold
the wager is wavering
i’m on a fence again
waving my face in the wind
are you trying to wake me up?
i swear i’ve had this dream before
of impenetrable deja vu
and flaccid neckties
choking our soft necks
to death’s nonmonumentus occasion
to the lake’s unsurmountable succulence
risidual sky pieces acting like unrampled durags for the godhead
La Prosette Presents: Compliments
That one time when Anja Notanja asked me to write compliments to random people on the street with her.
A sense of where you are #basketballweather
my fav #robinwilliams performance.
rest in power oh captian my captain.
‘What’s it going to be then, eh?’
That was me, that is Wesley, and my five droogs, that is Erik, Kendra, Nathaniel, Luna, and Kipp, Kipp being really Kipp, and we sat in the Club Garibaldi milk bar making up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening, a flip light hot summer bastard though wet.
Is this you? #almostforever
i see you seeing me singing you is this you? i bet you think this mirror is about you
Direct witnessing a pawning of the blood vessel
Cornerstoning underthrown obelisks for writhing the wrath of a dissonant summer
Riding the aggravation it’s a slow boat to germantown
No wake up next week no sweating no bleep
No herring no sheep
No bless no bliege no ticket no sleep
For the overheated evening
Here at the edge of the world #vanishingpoints
Swinging from a hold over the best part of the ocean, you are the figure I’m contemplative about during a competitive poetics in motion…. …..of history’s emotion, cyclical trails, deepening into recesses, behind fatherhood or sonhood there is an ever-escaping approval process, a patriarcal hypnosis…..I’m telling you this because this is where I my secret voice is located, I’ve learned to speak here…. Right now I’m speaking to you, here, as “then” calls for me to speak to “them” like a ringing in ones ears while unlocking a series of doors…. You… Here…. Listening to the walls sing….. I want you to be aware of this then as an addendum to a continuing omnipresensce… It speaks of immediacy, luminosity, discreet tones I give to cradle in your loving arms, to let fall stars from your ajna to my pillowed head in childhood bed, celestial awareness, lingering diaphonous impressions, I hope you are still asleep…. it soothes me to speak to you in this way but I have no intention of waking you, these words are to be spoken through you, sleeping Muse… These are loveletters to a modern day highschool sweetheart
