I The Prayer, Conceptualize (As the Rose is Blown)

Everything appears golden
a marathon runner approaching the finishing line, a sprinter bursting from the blocks.

Deliciously amoral cowboy sparkling lights fairy dust

crunching guitar rapidly rising tension a city under fire a day at the Indy 500 pride at the
flying flag we took the big plunge underneath bombastic spurting country gets the gospel blues.

II The Beneficience, Realize (Fine Flowers In the Valley)

A change of mood. Cruising, talking bass, random chimes, wet Sunday.

found at the beach.

III Fall Into His Light (Recognition, Identity, Reflection)

An empty dance hall the floor wooden and varnished reflecting blue sky. The life of a rooster. He is not human.
Weal of red line wound upon cheeks a ritual marking. Birds dancing in the air. The impossible.

We like Birdland.

IV Audentes Fortuna

In the starting blocks. Beads of sweat. Bonnie and Clyde. Orange energy. The jury for backing vocals. Outlaw. Jagged pattern of red and black teeth.

V Night

Wall Street numbers. Green columns. Japanese - boy has revelation, girl is surprised a turning of mind.

VI Zuza's Broken Tears

The turtle's eyes open to a blue sky, the sun at sixty degrees, a distant star magnified and a red globe burning.

the tide receding over smoothed stones. Hot rock and sunlight breath warmth and life into cold exhausted limbs.

VII As the Rose is Blown

horses, horses, horses, coming in in all directions
Daring and the vital response. The starting gun. The die is still tumbling. Billet boards blue Big Brother. There are two exits. A humpback whale lay giggling.

VIII What Grandma Said

Back in the dance hall, treading gingerly. Solo piano, there she appears dancing alone. Outside the sky foreboding. The singer is not her. The singer is dead. The last shiver.

IX The Valley

It is ok. People just try to put us down. back in the heat (it was one scene, one game, started again, only the memory remaining, tinging the next scene with its mood.)
