Domeneck & Nikolaus - "The Barbarian Invasions"
Text & voice: Ricardo Domeneck / Music: Markus Nikolaus
The
barbarian invasions
inhabitant
of your
hair
a structure
of
smells and voice
a
skin of one´s own
like
a membrane
admitting
no
osmosis
no traffic
open
and close
your
hands fingers
as
your most expensive
travelling
equipment
your
mouth moisture
the
only liquid allowed
past
airport security
species
genus family
order
class phylum
kingdom
domain
father
not
in heaven plays
the
census of gender
according
to method
of
reproduction
mother
like
a virgin plays
the
large machinery
producing
milk & other
secretive
secretions
both
perform
the
monthly
waste
of fluids
erecting
a wall
of
china for dinner
as
birthright a syntax
to
obey & a dictionary
to
quote
from
all said and done
if
a border is the largest
organ
of a country
migrate
with migraine
nomadic
in oblivion
for
the manifold
stations
of distance
the
place you left
ends
as the finish
line
of the race
for
your body
displacement
cross
an ocean
“in
search
of
the miraculous”
from
ex-pariah
to
expatriate
in
the high culture
&
haute couture
of
new centripetal masters
watch
the orgy of hosts
and
guests and say: “far
from
me
to
interfere with the interior
design
of your wholly
homogeneous
country”
still
the only
travel
guide: leave
and
lose door
keys
and the house
all
names and the lovers
attached
to the names
a
city a river a familiar
arrangement
of trees
design
build remodel
your
cave your castle
a
shell a solace bunker
with
the skin you shed
with
the hair you seed
and
grow and reap
from
your body
no
exile is feasible
pack
your bones
and
leave home
with
the attitude
of
the first visigoth
at
the gates of rome
