violin, viola, piano, guitars, vocals, midi percussion, assorted household items, random instruments I can't play.

ACCUPRESSURE: I make a crease with my arm push the skin out dimple ease it back in like a gear shaft press, count, release. This is supposed to work my stomach cinches itself in a divide my head whitens my blood scurries. I take flesh from my palm and rub it into elbow feeling the thud of vein an inch away my chest feels like feathers my helicopter ears speed my neck is tight. I count slow minutes as if I am God as if by counting them they will pass easier through my bloodstream. -Jennifer Warren

Lyrics

BLACK CHAMELEON

she’s back to where she started
no destination, furtive brow
and the years disolved to nothing
the time becomes anywhere but now

and she looks atop the breathing
for a sign that she’s alive
but all she sees is sadness
and nothing else is recognized

so how about the fantasy
changing black chameleon
and how about the answer
saturated with adrenaline

she waits without waking
a little less than a thought
and her desperate clues and meanings
dry as a living draught

and it all concludes to this
there was nothing left to prize
she’d dried out all the answers
given to save her life.

still she’s back where she started
the voices tell her, go,
and she can’t ever let them out,
she can’t ever let anyone know

they decide to follow
lest they find out the truth she lives
lest someone discovers the madness
and her loneliness, cuts, divides..

so how about the fantasy,
she relents to the siren’s song
and no one quite suspected
her voice sweetly and forever gone
