lyrics

Do you recall
How we gazed in the mirror
and saw two peacocks
peering back at us
before turning to walk the path
of kings on the lonely mountain.
The mists of expectation
kissed the landscape,
so they couldn't tell whether
the shadows were guiding
or following them as they
entered the lair of the dragon.
They wrapped their feathers
around each other
for strength and support,
in case the beast awoke,
but the dragon slept on
and would not be disturbed today.
Then, as the path wound upwards
on the side of the lonely mountain,
the peacocks looked back
and found that they had left
some of their darkness behind
in the belly of the earth.
And, as the air thinned,
they began to stretch their wings,
so that others may see
the way up the mountain.
As we looked in the mirror,
the peacocks continued climbing
but now on separate paths,
Sometimes parallel, sometimes crossing.
but never far apart.

about

PINCH OF HUNGER France

The "Pinch of Hunger" project started with the idea of highlighting Charles Antony’s poetry through some alternative music. Charles’ mellifluous voice,

in pretty diverse atmospheres.

My friend Chris Silver T. honoured me with his presence, bringing along his somewhat twisted/sampled/distorted
drum patterns. ... more
