Lyrics by Alex Rigg
Polleniser
Called blue or some grand colour,
Given shapes of plants:
Like making a tree out of wood,
Like building a cow with butter,
Turning water into water
And bread into food.
Called blue or some deep shade,
Giving a sheen to black.
Caught in the dyer’s vat,
Crushed rotten;
Caught turning from green:
Chlorophobic gardens.
Called blue when colour means
Giving uniformity;
Like the strip of cloth around each neck,
Like social chains and an indigo brand,
Burned, tattooed, where the stain
Of a working day’s sweat is blue.
Called dying: taking pigment from one plant and
Placing it onto the bones of another.

Lyrics by Alex Rigg
The Song of the Moon
I dream of you in endless coils,
My love is an ocean that writhes and boils.
All the waters come to me
All fluid movements seep;
My heart is dry, will always be,
My eye can never weep.
I feel you through my dusty skin,
The liquid moving round within.
I’ll draw you out you blooded cells,
You bladders, ponds and deep lake stills.
All the waters come to me
All fluid movements seep;
My heart is dry, will always be,
My eye can never weep.
My drought is a muscle a singing wire,
Strung tight between us in lines of desire.
I dream of you in endless coils,
My love an ocean that seizes and boils.
All the waters come to me
All fluid movements seep;
My heart is dry, will always be,
My eye can never weep.

Lyrics by Alex Rigg
You Are My Flower
Drawn in to you you breathe us
Agrain and again
Agrain and again
Our half life cut through.
A wind born hope an encapsulation
A vessel sailed out into the world
A colonist and lover.
We invade and contaminate;
new lamps for old
Are you our flower, our empetalled destiny,
or do you choke, drowning in our dust?
But for us you would be poor
and our exchange a fruit that never set.
