Anticipatory Fiction In The Shadow Of Power

from On Pedestrian Wolves by Osiris Saline

/

about

You see a lot of what happens with power structures when you live for hundreds of years alongside colonization and mass pollution.

lyrics

Industry
Turned itself
All its living parts
Inside to out
A sacrifice for all
A bleating, ravenous deity
Changed all it touched
Scrawled all a contract death

Witnesses a fall
Are we all
Drops in the oceans
That ever expand
Witness from afar
Decisions graphed through scars
A frail imitation
Of what once was

It's all wrong, it's all wrong
It's all wrong is this song
As we step down the stairs
Wash the puddles with nightmares
Fetch the mop, sink the bleach
Wash up on the beach
And hide from hate crimes
Witnessed in wolves lifetimes

Let it burn
Let it burn
[They wiggle and they squirm]
They let it burn
They let it burn
[Final trees! Those feeble ferns!]
They knew it all
They knew it all
[They planned the profit and the fall]
It's all they know
It's all they know
[Another aspirational apocalypse]
