The Mersey's Lament is a psychedelic Stream Of Consciousness poetry video performance about the river Mersey and city of Liverpool.
I include a text version below for those who would like to read the poem as well 🙂
The river flows through this dirty old town, brown with rotten leaves of yesterday's autumns. Streets choked with automatic thoughts and lithe injections of conditioned perceptions. Days merge with tides, a carousel of cheese grater lines of poisonous powder. The river runs through day-glow days of pill hazed limited-by-nothing delusions. Runs a roller coaster ride, mind fried in the lap of desires. Mountain mist christened in its depths, where the city's breath expires. The river runs a mile, spiralling reflected skies until the whole opens out into sunset, in grass scented cacophony. The river flows in burs of trees, murmuring breeze and whispered memories. I take flight in that mingling murmur of the Mersey, forging a path in its wake from momentary life to memories echoed mistakes. The river runs calico with sediment, dreaming of rumbling buses and a concrete lament.
