Drink Friends Drink

By Joshua Chalifour & Andrew Ehrhardt, 2 January 2003

Drink friends, drink,
and friends let’s drink again.
The bottle will be empty,
But not before the end.

I’ve traveled near and far,
and now I’m back to stay,
Had enough travelin’,
enough of the wanderin’ way.

I saw the stars o’er Mexico,
‘neath her thighs spread wide.
She said, “Stay!”, Lord I had to go,
Though in her belly grew my pride.

Drink friends, drink,
and friends [...]

La Fée Verte

By Joshua Chalifour, 1 January 2003

Ma tasse est toujours
pleine à ras bords dans la mer.

La fée verte met les
rêves dans ma bouche
et prend les mains de la mer.

J’ai jetée le berceau d’eau perdu
au ciel–
qui a brisé en mille morceaux.

Le monde sommeille,
il ne soigne pas
mes mains pénibles ou
ma bouche en plein rêves.
Track One of the Obsidian Smoke Rings Album.

Hymn of Yield

By Joshua Chalifour, 5 August 2002

Oh tides, rise for hours,
great tides rise this hour,
to air ‘n earth flee I, so dour.

Care and cold and lust and life
summer dress with cloth–my wife.
Shores defined your eyes and mine.
Now sullen flows wash this line,
which banked-wide the floods of time.

Oh, tides rise for hours,
great tides rise this hour,
to air ‘n earth flee I–not I.
