lyrics
Isn't moving
Inspiration all died
I defy
Edifying texts
I defy
Hot air quotational flotationals—
Quote away.
Float away.
Who am I talking to,
Talking to?
Imaginary figments in the ICU
ICU
I see nothing left to view
Left to view
Left
(Right?)
Left to view—
Lungs bereft
I seek a sunken bubble
Free dive on empty
Down to an abyssal depth
And where the plain
Intersects with the trench
I teeter on the edge
A current blasts
From behind
I gasp
I cast a shadow
On a shadow
A Turkey Vulture buddy
From my littoral days
Phases in
All unflappable
To call the black swirling kettle
Back together for
A whirlwind tour
Of a marginal sea
Hover over
One /ˈneɪvəl/ vessel
Or another
Body of
Human or of water
Blood exists
To be discovered.
I exist
To be—
I exist
To be—
I exist
To be!
I take a breath
I cast a shadow
At the moment of
I take a breath
I cast a shadow
At the moment of
I take a breath
I cast a shadow
At the moment of
I take a breath
I cast a shadow
At the moment of—

-
I listened to "Oh, Legs!" and "Harbor" and I was hooked. Cynthia Marie's music is whimsical, thoughtful, and surprising—the kind of music that always seems to be thanking the listener for listening.

WE CREATE OUR MAPS (2016)
by TGTGI played a show with TGTG in 2017 and their music and energy blew me away! I've been singing along at home and in the car ever since. :) I recommend "Mic Checkers" and "Taking Off My Mask".
