GUEST POST // You Know This (Word) by Madam Marmoset (with Tetiana Aleksina & Tony Single)
Labels are not for people
Mores change and fade
No matter how we do it
Twixt the rainbow and the rain
Hear my refrain, hunter
Learn to differ targets
I am not a rabid beast
I am a human free
We’ve lost touch with our hearts
Our identities are rubber stamped
Society dictates our self worth
And we willingly eat the crap
Hear my refrain, hunter
Learn to differ targets
I am not a rabid beast
I am a human free
Whatever you are inside
However your heart beats
That’s where you’ll find your tribal groove
So let’s just call it what it is…

EARS WIDE OPEN // Glass Tantō
First we had the disarmingly lettered Madam Marmoset. Now we have the mellifluous Herr Tamarin. Where on earth are these highly literate and articulate primates coming from? We sometimes find ourselves hoping to evolve into them. (Shouldn’t it be the other way round?)
Herr Tamarin seems gruff and unyielding on the outside, but inside he’s really a soft, marshmallowy romantic who loves to show off his impressive reading abilities. Just listen to his dulcet tones! Is his voice not like honey being poured down your starving lugholes? Oh my god… the endless eargasms!
So, today we present the first installment of a new feature. Dear reader, we want to share with you audio recordings of some of our past poems, but we don’t want to hear only ourselves prattling on. No, we want to hear you too. Do you have a favourite piece on Unbolt Me that you’d like to record for posterity? If we dig it then we’d love to use it for a future post in the Ears Wide Open series!
spring unfolded on winter again
like a skewbald origami dream
in time for the seeker’s return
empty-handed he slipped behind
the windowpane
the windowpane
he’d left to claim her heart again
she who’d growed beyond the pines
she who’d made the seeker return
empty-hearted he slit behind
the window pain
the window pain
