letra de vera nightterror - cori&her

(narrator speaks:)

your name is vera and
you’ve had too much your patience snapped from
searchlights of the tall things
who mime their note of every movement
recall one’s adversion to your pets
when eyes pause trace grip of
fish tank hid under bed
load your plastic gun full of miracles
sea monkeys!
in the gun!
in the air!
biting into vera’s flesh and hair
try to cover your mouth
as not to alert the parents and shadows
to your budding murder plot
in which you’re hero
scream out mouth smother mouth
ow ow
it is unethical still must be done
eye behind curtain has not returned and
from brine shrimp whispers:
“something wrong…”
you must ignore it and press on
gun babbles water and translucent bodies
you forgot your glasses but
ability to turn back passed away
down the landing
ever softly
top of staircase
carpet tongue rolls down in stained buds
trace its paving
kitchen floor is cold on your socks
cat flap rotating outside in on garden door
shadows wall on tent
where’s rock?
all long limbs inside this must mean something curled off
door open setting off a motion sense wall-light
brighter than i promise you would ever see
pack of moths
funnel from a gap in clouds
swarm it!
chokes spark to dark as you take a step down from porch
distant from vera’s house
further awfuls happening:

agatha arrives at venue
southern city
round corner on time jen’s ticket instruct
leans
she’s waited long for moment
annual custon® gala where she will greet her face to face
as twelve classical pieces choke out of pipes m-ffled by concrete
there was not a golf club here
bouncer sort of man stops her
drags knife under her tongue smiles
“sorry miss this ticket defunct”
agatha slips dart from pocket
but won’t risk losing her mouth
his radio crackles to life!
“oh is it agatha? tell her she may enter after she brings me this woman”
it’s the one she dropped box off to
time to approach
caitlyn from a new angle
agatha nods quickly
radio says got just two hours
guard man pulls knife from mouth
says “has luck for martha’s favour”
time to betray whatever was hiding in the cardboard box
attached to envelope
she’s watched caitlyn for days
breathing pathetic life through window
mouthing with sock puppet
all the things she thought she thinking
to slash to her
let alone trap her in rusted trunk
gives our agatha b-tterflies
let’s step back from that

you crouch down
on the grass
searching for any single sign of moving life
in the tent
but its populous of too tall eyes: motionless
(shut up…)
from your see through rifle hear sea monkeys hissing
focus your view on that rose bush
the fear of sunlight roots his limbs in place
foggy-like
all light pollution
fairy corpses to be pruned in a row
surely the things would not k!ll you
split your gaze
bend his neck
rise towards the
snails in the shrub blink out
just like the constellations on your pyjamas
must tread lightly
dirt ooze water
concrete patches
polyester secret centre
taller than it seemed and now you
reach out hand
and falter through air

caitlyn gives up on tonight’s sleep
ho-rs-ly asks him if his mind’s finally gone home
ausfax m-ffled screams and shout
caitlyn concedes and cuts him free of his binding
backlog of a hundred printed sheets burst out
punctures caitlyn’s hands with dozen nasty cuts
shouts from pain
furious paper demands:
“set me free you horrid blonde h-rnet’s nest
and to think i thought you could be the one
to steer your eyes safety
much too self absorbed to be puppet i need
gift rejector and insufferable ‘hero’
you are not the martyr that the voice in my ear promised”
caitlyn kicks him

(caitlyn speaks:)

“i beg no part in this
free me of this future hiss”

(narrator speaks:)

mortal funk drips from
mortal funk falls from her eyes

(caitlyn speaks:)

“i wedge this train out my cerebral now”

(narrator speaks:)

caitlyn holds cable broke patch to her hand
but no shock k!lls her third eye die
he’s running on empty electricity

gone all crushed and then stomped all on
caitlyn concedes her life and dreams to the static

(caitlyn speaks:)

“i shall comply your altar
are you with corporation that i applied to?”

(ausfax speaks:)

“i was head of something till i crawled dead
martha must have had them shoot red through the head
i think dying has made i forget
exactly what we’re looking for in london’s grim rotting future
(looks worse than last time)”

(agatha speaks:)

inside garnished dress
i maintain to conceal this secret locket
snugly trapped within a sewn on pocket
you guess what’s inside but i won’t spill out!
here is a hint:
it’s souvenir from crime i cannot talk about
science-like-h-ll
you could choke me but really i would never tell!
i wish i had more warning that i would have to capture a target
in such an impractic outfit
i sprint
i bike
when i fall in a pond the hunt turns triathletic
sick of this exertion
steal that man’s car
imagine serpents nuzzling
wings on gear stick

“she’s got to go!”
sparks no master
i must obey
all falls in
nourishing my plan

(narrator speaks:)

retrace future
now watch these two

running from mouth chested beast
clone duo halt by cliff
both exhausted
hungering for a can of plenty
so they cornered
the road continues above them
there’s an escalator kissing its heavens
all jutting out and rusting
why is such a thing here?
glimmering but quite dead
climb out-> arms out-> balance

(caitlyn-2 speaks:)

“i see it big
i see doggy”

(narrator speaks:)

metal steps curl in on self
wonder who designed such a mess?
leap!
anglerthing hisses from the bottom
landlocked!
prey don’t look down
it is nice up by
burning shopping mall heap

impossible halls ignored
brush past tall fish kicking a shoe
clock says: “save the truest clone!”
clock says: “be paid just what they owed!”
green clean beam of lovely light
shadow puppets houses set alight
from this height they can see black tower they birthed from
blink in! out!
moves like silver light

but the trance is scorched out by the ambivalent force of an autopiloted cube
tube legs step into ash crust
barber shop dies to thrust
both clones paralysed
lucky seven legged box
dismantles flaming house
barely grazes roof of dog
leaps right off the jellied cliff
both their spines get the feeling
someone’s in it

here’s their goal…

it’s time to claim their prize from brand new sister
place their hand on fur of dog’s pelt
1 wields their can opener
and gash!!!
a doll arm falls from wound
something here is not right

(agatha speaks:)

i’m all pursuit
speed this stolen car
i glide through stoplight
as have gotta make it past event doors
caitlyn i am afraid
it’s time to meet you
aaaaa

(narrator speaks:)

you take hands of plastic opening
use toy gun as second head to peek inside and
shoot em dead-
well
the term ‘eradiator’ rides soap up drain pipe
covered in the bloodied hair of those around you
ring of corpses stand round hatch
dead eyed and smouldering
suited zombie officials
bugs crawl their skin
broken bolt shots in their necks
a sickly green glow
they just stand here
motionless
you raise the gun but
general vera, do you want to risk your bullet pet’s lives?
why did you think this would do anything at all?
so best go back to bed now!

(opal speaks:)

it’s opal again!
how i can feel the entire universe squeeze through a pipe!
escaping a heat death i rest on this platform
the sky just likes me!
oh my legs dangle in crackled ruby!
others stay on the northern edge
far from the flames i can sense on my skin
i think about all things the light stole away
if the boil is a mirror maybe my house will come back?
out-sp-ce is a starless husk
but we’re all still alive

(narrator speaks:)

trodden and stuck with the brain train
dried bloodied ears sandwich the eyes to the future
which chokes out on caitlyn’s tears
drilled in the matter of what fell out of big dog
her future clones shuffle themselves
is ausfax showing her or is she telling him?
still no paper in his tray
if so then why must she suffer all what he say
caitlyn is pulled back into the real world by
landline that i swear wasn’t on wall before
bell rings out, peels herself from floor
cl!cks answer
heavy breathing topples ruined painting canvas
says voice:
“someone’s coming phoebe’s coming so you breathe while you can”
asks cait:
“who’s this talking? who’s you who should i melt into the ground ground?”
says voice:
“someone’s coming phoebe’s coming so you breathe while you can”
asks cait:
“who’s this talking? who’s you who should i melt into the ground ground?”
says voice:
“someone’s coming phoebe’s coming so you breathe while you can”
asks cait:
“who’s this talking? who’s you who should i melt into the ground ground?”
says voice:
“someone’s coming phoebe’s coming so you breathe while you can”
asks cait:
“who’s this talking? who’s you who should i melt into the ground ground?”

(caitlyn-1 and caitlyn-2 speak:)

it’s getting hard to breathe
it’s getting hard to breathe
it’s getting hard to breathe
it’s awful hard to breathe
i am caitlyn-1 and she is caitlyn-2 we
live in fear of you your static arms you chew your
hair strands are alive you laugh from dog inside the
the dog is not alive
a glass eyed head peeks out oh
it’s yours without a doubt it’s yours without a doubt
you are fairy dead queen and we bow down to you
and though you’re not like us
and though you lied to us
that you were one of us
we trust that you had must
your limbs drip gunpowder more blood than hundred men
we watch your banshee self become quite real again

(banshee speaks:)

“oh i am here again you worms have set me free
you worms have set me free should i rip you apart
should i rip you apart should i tear limb from limb
should i throw you off cliff and see if you can swim
oh shut you whimpering
now give me your gun thing
i say are you useful
useful enough to bring
you see i have a task is burnt into my core
it is just what i am my spirit commands me
to k!ll a servitess
and spill solenius
as i’ll knock on castle door
i’ll pierce her through eye wings
and you can join army
or die at blade of me
now pull out last arm i’ll only sting a bit”

anglerthing foams up behind them
locks on prey but halts at sight of
banshee rips it from afar
it thinks out “where’s my promised star?” and
through its jaw spikes out her hand
sharpened twist round to pierce
its stalk sucker two-eyed
both caitlyns watch on in horror as
banshee smash its workings out to
the behest of the daughter of a famous queen
the daughter of famous fodder
the daughter of famous queen
very famous!
very famous!
very famous!
very moth-like!

(narrator speaks:)

in present london a crack forms
ceiling vent stress under touch of someone
phoebe was given no map but
cardinal angle is fed from arrow
she has been swiftly instructed
to dispatch someone who poses threat to
soon-be-god’s plan for his rising
“this woman must be k!lled
take no chances”
peers down into caitlyn’s kitchen
fly eyed dishes have long made their nest there
what a mess! oh she deserves it!
leech on all
could have been cleaned ‘fore tonight
serpentine movement continues
bedroom approaches
bedroom ha ha ha!
over years empathy faded
visited horses’ graves
just felt nothing
automaton
grateful to be second time
pumped lungs of earthfire
ah!
earlier what’s his name sent here
flopped and left uselessly
needed more time
by the time the pin drops she’ll be
public works director
but first
she push the ceiling grate
in
and falls into bedroom

phoebe rolls self up from floor
agatha smash through window
caitlyn hides amongst clothes
looks at others

aggy asks other, “who’s there?”
eyes drawn to wet tarpaulin
“oh hah, it’s you again”
antagonism lost on vacant
phoebe unwinds her rib bones
and sat by kidney quiver is longbow which is removed
she takes a running step and nocks her bow whilst caitlyn stifles

agatha dodges shot
eggs graze ruby sleeves rot
hiss “this one’s mine so back away” to no reaction
ag draws knife sticky taped to her outer thigh
phoebe eye staticky (and has already died)
vasoconstricted body gets pierced by a knife
but does not hurt at all
aggy expected this
but still she had to try
meanwhile in hotel room
ewyn wonders just when his friend is coming back
phoebe scratch agatha
stabs in the side of leg
aggy twists earlobes in an improvised attack
in wardrobe caitlyn cries
and both know she’s inside
if phoebe gets her way she’ll claim the others’ lives
“she said she can’t be dead! she said she can’t be dead!”
phoebe hoists up printer and bashes her in head

(ausfax speaks:)

“eeehhhgh aaeu sttete aaaaaa nnnnn stopppp hurts inininsiiissaaaside my brrr aaa brainain oooe euh? uuuuuu aa pleeeaplease”

(narrator speaks:)

jacket slips from hanger and lands on caitlyn’s head
it still smells like eugene
she half wishes self dead
knife slips from aggy’s hands
drops to carpet
no sound
she is a sitting duck
for feathers to be plucked
in future the banshee makes group once again three
caitlyn 1 and 2 obey her every word
as they begin their trek off towards the red desert
for now we stop prying
but they’ll be back again
agatha is left with just one last resort
so she leap kicks through dead air
but phoebe dodges boot
a cloud of plaster forms
aggy gets stuck in wall
phoebe loads her bow
aims right at agatha’s face

better move quickly
before those things wake up
out the tent and onto grass
and steps on porch
tears streaming down your face
it’s like this forever
still you know zilch
and shut up!
just make way for ‘the best way’
just go upstairs don’t creak the boards
and well you’re only eleven so
shut up!
just go back to bed
relinquish autothysis bedtime
your curtains won’t close even if you pull the cord
bring sheets to nose again
goodnight

dawn cracks sky pink
vera’s alarm sings out “h-llo!”

caitlyn screaming leaps from place
and elbows into corpse’s face oh
phoebe is unstable and losing balance
steers her to the exit sill
but doesn’t bother freeing robot
phoebe clutching ausfax falls out the window

(ausfax speaks:)

out apartment held as stone we fall
down
ink will spill out onto tarmac and street
i a treat
i’m
am
dead
meat

(narrator speaks:)

before she splats
phoebe shouts up:
“caity can’t you see
all your action does is waste your muscle
you’ve already failed
all’s theirs to reshape”

(caitlyn-3 speaks:)

my name was caitlyn-3
mayfly timer ran out
i beg to die again
speckled as the air i breathe
i am not real just my spirit
hair up passed out
look i’m dry goods
just her cloned skin
bloodied vessel floatings across core of earth
hiding from born-again meat king
(there flies another worm)
all doors jammed
(there flies another worm)
sand strokes my vessel
just k!ll me again just fish my brains out
the led sign blinks i’ll be free years ago
wring me again mothy princess
in negative mantle sky
and inner core heats
“no arms left for plasticine gods
la lala lalalala lalala la la
no arms left for where i was
la lala lalalala lalala la la”
the dust makes my strands float all up
la lala lalalala lalala la la
fairy wings in plastic cup
la lala la i think a mermaid scr-p hit me

i convulse
bubbles form and unform as i know
i forgot to put a purpose in my mind
i convulse
bubbles form and unform as i know
i forgot to put a purpose in my mind
i start laughing
i convulse
bubbles form and unform as i know
i forgot to put a purpose in my mind
i convulse
bubbles form and unform as i know
in the core of something i have blinked to its a pretty prison
i convulse
bubbles form and unform as i know
i forgot to put a purpose in my mind
i convulse
bubbles form and unform as i know
the worm live on and no purpose in my mind and i start laughing
i convulse
bubbles form and unform as i know
i forgot to put a purpose in my mind
i feel lungs close around my bloodied own body
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
i am the best at ghosty
i feel lungs close around my bloodied own body
hahahahahahahahaha it’s warm
looks at me
looking like a nasty purgatory prisoned ceo looks at me dead in the eyes
“is it funny?”
lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala

(caitlyn speaks:)

somewhat vertical
i see my saviour’s body in wall
coughs out plaster

(agatha speaks:)

right well you can see i’m such a hero now!
saved your soul
look i’m such a hero now!
pull me out
i’m a woman with a plan and you can trust me

(caitlyn speaks:)

it’s all sealed it’s all
i saw the crumbled husk of this world

(agatha speaks:)

just forget it
whatever that photocopier showed to you
does not fit
with my current future view

(caitlyn speaks:)

barely see the doubles of me
my optics fading
sn-tched by war banshee
should
i
break out door or-

(agatha speaks:)

free my body now!
i think us two could help each other out
i can see that
you’re a girl who has a very special leech
in your brain
would you like to save the world?
you can trust
that we’re gonna save the world!
we could drive
out of here and save the world
i promise
i have better use for you than that lot ever could…
