O, Luna Why do you remind everyone of someone they've loved? O, Luna How do you keep flying? When it's all so futile: beautiful?

Rhododendron, Dreaming 03:27
lyrics

Sitting on a rhododendron, dreaming about all the different shades of healing. Bring the nectar up to my proboscis, darling help me put my wings in motion. (Spoken) We all get lost on the way sometimes, to our destination to the headlights, to the neon signs glowing, calling us skewing our flight path, dead ends, pipe dreams but it can happen to anybody: so don't sweat it too much. You'll find the moon again, that guiding light, above all a beacon, a deaconess, that one we can rely on La Luna

Lepidoptera in Petroleum 02:49
lyrics
buy track
Unhealthy obsession with death Seen burning bodies in the flesh Night walks to graves Like a moth to a flame Guess I can't help but be a voyeur To a lost cause going down to the end Lepidoptera in Petroleum! Mostly the images fold themselves to dreams Horror-gami placid but obscene What’s there to collect? No conclusions manifest Guess I can’t help a wrong place affair even if I still smell the smoke in my hair. Lepidoptera in Petroleum! And do you ever wonder how things get this bad? I do Lepidoptera in Petroleum.

Liquid Chrysalis 04:54
lyrics

Sitting in a liquid chrysalis Changing out, changing out, changing out Sitting in a liquid chrysalis It takes so long, takes so long, takes so long To reform the form and everything else Change never comes easy Takes so long to take a new form Change never comes easy Sitting in a liquid chrysalis Hanging from the ceiling by a branch Sitting in a liquid chrysalis Straining at the walls What shape will be my wings? Will they bleed a blue or gold or amber? Or will I be a little mottled beast? I’ll have never known the pretty colors Sitting in a liquid chrysalis This water always pulled me in Sitting in a liquid chrysalis The water’s cold But it’s fine I need that reminder again to grow older Sitting in a liquid chrysalis Changing never comes easy What color will my eyes change to? Will I be new or blue and gold? Will I have two wings or six? WIll I grow horns? Maybe I’ll just get older Get a little more tired Another day, twenty-one, what’s it matter? A little closer to expiry Sitting in a liquid chrysalis You wonder when it changes… Then it comes on the wings Time’s a nasty thing Will it make a beauty out of me? Can I be who I see behind the mirror? Sitting in a liquid chrysalis Changing never comes easy

Pollination 5 (The Flight) 02:45
lyrics
buy track
Zhuangzi dreamt he was a butterfly And so am I But moth-like I trust the night The transformation of material things It takes time A new form The feminine Night shift pollinators Bloom in stages Flying outwards Towards the- Light where we will gather Spread our wings wide Towards our lover, oh the- lunar, loving priestess Will not scathe me Or deceive me only- shower her soft glow Upon the places Where the sun won’t let me- love myself yet and I Will ask you One time to uplift me and- Hold my face to the stars: Speak my true name To them sweetly Naomi Naomi Naomi

about

A little labor of love that opened up with the emerging cicadas. Tracing meaning in their buzzing wingbeats. Insectoid resurgence as a kind of rebirth. Synthetic experimentation, morphing form. The fixation on the potential trans narratives of metamorphosis. A record ultimately about reconciling the past and future, and coming out. I hope these nine little moths find you well!
