He sinks spectre like below the ridge line, one wing dipped towards death, across the canal dried to a ditch, he's blown toward trees, all the while knowing one wing won't work, that this'll be his last landing and he'll never again sing his swoops on the air.

Benjamin Prosser - Voice, Bouzouki, tremelo, samples

The Significance of the Hut

Biro on Paper

This apart I've no business with you

I want to be sure of my subject

I hold this flower of battle

This poem, this theft

I hold this microphone

To amplify this my thieved voice

This is sheer verse willed into being

To bring you to believe

To drag you into this triangle

This walled word tower

This Pyramid of Bribes

I hold this slice of self

This metal stand in hand

This metal fork to throat you

To pierce and bore you

To broadcast up up up

on the air's back

This voice

and with the seal on my soul

thus peeled

I may walk this stage

barefoot and brave.
