My hallowed grimace as I stare into the mirror
How infra dig I feel when I am being honest
I've got my tits all in a funk again
And I am pre-empting the denouement
So I use ink
Germane ink
To paint purpose
Paint intent
But instead I feel ignored again
So festeringly insecure again
What makes you believe, Eastling?
There's the Ibis staring again
And that dark doom hanging over my head
To show me this shattered intent
So I paint on my face
That I'm obsessive and jealous
Coyote dances and sings
And washes clean my effeminate gist
Whining, whining about how hurt and sad my life has been
I need a bigger head; to fit shit instead
Because my head holds boundless dread
And better would be shit there instead

It Holds My Viscera

It peels widdershins
In this hullabaloo of life
Old fragments stir blood into this
Because I don't trust men
And my father is dead
Saturn leers
And I'm taut and choked
And I jeer
As I cede my last hoke of god-lore
From sepulchral worlds, gomes unleashed
What you could do with these canopic jars
There's a glut of unwashed chides
Because I don't trust men
And my father is dead
Saturn leers
And I'm taut and choked
And I jeer
As I cede my last hoke of god-lore
I cannot reach you to release you
Where are the old tomes to raise you
To kiss you
To feel you
To see you
Walk away
Away

So harrowing
When eventide's rest must come
Feeling a fug resting
Heavy on my chest
Dudgeon
Devours
With devilish wings
Thou shalt not stand alone
Trailing the maimed vestige
Of the theurgy of the world
Dudgeon
Devours
Where to go from here?
Betrayed by your god
Your friend with knife in hand
I hear a voice that lords

Charles East Oudtshoorn, South Africa
Charles East is a classically trained pianist and singer-songwriter from South
Africa.
East's music addresses darker themes ranging from intolerance, isolation, and obsession to self-loathing and the agony of life with a voice that "dives and soars from the desperate edge of tender despair up to the raging heights of pure furious angst".
