play the ridge

in the memer age
an inscription, half-erased, on a temple
the luxury of zooming out
like the map of Eurasia
can only be learned in pieces
missing words and audio loops
forgotten sound bites
where do ideas come from
think in full sentences

convenience goods, and economies
the most important thing we can do
first does not always equal best
empires of steel
Mother Demeter
Big solstice energy
the ultimate Answers lost to prehistory
lost beings of the last Ice Age
where you are and when you are

from Scandinavia to the Balkans
roast duck and spiced ham
what they found in the ice
secret societies and lost lands
millions of years until boars, fishhooks
Iron Age Constantinople
Sun deity messiah
Jurchens and Janissaries
the dying and reborn goddess

unsolved mysteries of linguistics
obvious results, without obvious causes
a long time of nothing, until something
The Flying Bike
Exceptionally no
a cosmic waiting game
I am the nade king
empty golf ball planet
keep our economy boiling

looking through the red dot
nade the smoke
final thunderclap; last rain
share the inheritance of the gods

Snapdragon

all the symbols in the world
were-monkeys
isolated, well-preserved language
the Divine Center and double integration
Metatron spreads his wings
extinct language, lost art
lions and bulls: Babylon
frozen, inorganic Eden
lumps and singularities in time

following the glaciers and the permafrost line
wired back to your ancestral self
Hittite secrets of alchemy
Divine Dragon and the dark side of the moon
teletype rig terminals and CERN internet
“angels” on radar screens
Dark Knave and the Planetary Hours
rerouted back to prehistoric flights across Eurasia
“angel” visitors from an identical Heaven

contact with foo fighters
time falls away, burning ends
prehistoric flights from the Center
transformation, metamorphosis, transfiguration
the fettered pendulum
carbon life to silicon life: AI, CPU chips
the journey of the Ural-Altaic languages
planet of the animals
the Messiah is with us

evening star; piercing white light
never escaped the ’90s
Probability Map of the Universe
dancing foxes with nine tails
Another Language I Forgot
Sperry Topsiders
the Amalfi Coast and Santorini
what happened after the last Ice Age
the Great Serpent and “angel” country
Babel, stars, angels on a pin, sand on the seashore

magic Mini-Stop store
mythic steppe falcon god
A name like a cipher – unknown, not yet determined
