    in 2022, i worked with Sacred Fawn to make new versions of 2 songs from "in the light of total love" reimagined for the transcendental dance floor. since then, these remixes have been played at almost every burnt-feathers live event -- they have been integral in directing the shows energetically.

    i had just begun work on finally releasing this music physically when i heard the news of Dot's passing. never before has synchronicity been so heartbreaking. suddenly, this joyous project took on a new weight.

    rest in peace, Dot. thank you for making this music with me. miss you and love you always.

    this is a 7" plastic record, lathe-cut by Audio Geography Studios, with two pages of insert art by myself & Dot. 30 in total.

lyrics

you appeared in my dream
and you were what gave it away
that i was not asleep.

tethered to self-generated half-truth.
suffered more, limbs splayed-out.
gazed into the yawning obliteration.

forgiven inhuman shadow-tendency
grants salvation from its cruelty,
the freedom to choose
to submit my-self in service to...

to be held up to the light 'til my wings catch flame.
to be made a holy fool again (and thankful ever since).

to belong to something brighter, higher,
that holds ninefold our hearts
within and around us, nearer than ever.

patriot to no country, holding no currency,
life restored by emergency operation.
un-dead walking among the ailing
as if i'd always been here.

it seems many remain unphased, or out-of-phase,
immovable, unchanged, disenfranchised.
nothing surprises or inspires, merely overwhelms.

what holds us back from love?
what beliefs turned the key
until it broke off in the lock?
who told us that it was beyond repair,
with no spare to be retrieved?

oh, patient prisoner!
cat-like we will slink between the bars
in judgmentless deliverance.

following ourselves inward/outward,
we scatter our scraps.
not to mark a path,

just something for the birds.
