Ultra High Frequency Aureole

from Cipher by Gabriel Tavares

/

about

The UHF aerial antenna on an old television reminds me of an angel's aureole.

lyrics

angels! tele satellites! open up your fragile insect wings / choir voices trace the cold of a marble curve / like a woman's form fits into her jeans / frequencies fall in a perfect equation / vacuum tubes speak equivocation / you cannot pull your eyes away from the flashing screen / as the cameras focus and the mammon gleams / dissolution is disseminating / while the world is waiting / staring at them screens / looking for somebody / who's good and ready / to do it like they do in magazines / like glowing pixeled mosaics / like flashing flames of a burning bush / that calm me like a silent brother / oh lord and I won't be afraid no more / I'm breaking out of the darkness / and into the light of day / help me work out what it is that I'm trying to say / oh lord and I won't be afraid no more
