Eyelid/Fetish

"Eyelid/Fetish" was the first eNuminous & Archimedes album to be released, although it was the second to be recorded, following the studio sessions that produced "Citi Zen One."

It was initially released only as a CD through Kunaki, and now is only available as a digital album.

5 music videos were produced from tracks on this album, including the wildly experimental "Hunting The Lions" which was the very first e&A music video, and incorporated the spoken word poem of the same name.

Other poems appear in "Meaning" and "Pelicans."

3. Chase

Hunting The Lions

I. Summer

Needles into the precipice

Volcano mighty and wide bellied

Swallows the cataclysm's future

We cast spears into each other's agonies

The ballet spirals over canyon rustic red sun whirls

Action weighs actors the hours are long

Unreal light sound the viewers catch fire

Hollow basements and high offices

Images lay siege

The terrors of the un-fortuned

Become the terrors of entranced

Free men who sit and wait

Tonight the lions hunt anywhere be here we are washed

The leap in faith

Is the walk with the spear down

The foot sure the friends true

Balance amid wide open roaring wheat-less fields

The prowl is dancing might

Asserting much destroying more

The task is a footstep away

And another, another the broiling sun

II. Autumn

Dreams fall on sleeping war-weary soldiers

The hush of the night impales the stillness

With memories of dust and the day's hard warring

The breeze is colder now

The sky freezes the drama pauses the old men look up

Asking for a fair week extra the hunt drags

The feet drag the snow flurries camoflauges

Gathering night and silence as a cloak

The daggers march wild through silent houses

Finding only sleeping men and women

Barren fields cradling hushed

Dwellings napping

In the shelter of the storm the awakening

Weapons find the storage shelves

Dusty and wait for the felentless

Snows the ceaseless howling

Sit in the darkness sharpening

Their fantasies outside of time

Clutter of half-felt dreams

Spiral away in a whimsey

A flight of forecast startled blackbirds

III. Winter

Wiretap the success

Alter bending circles of influence

Corrupt the flow of thought

Our public massed in search

Of butterflies resilient and deadly

With science with a fine net

Of explanation of words

Deafened to the crackle of

Fine leaves and blacked

To the angry scent often hanging

Shroud over winter white

Eternal fields

Gaps in sight in the knowing's incredible aeons

Where chimeras dandy and entreat

Us to the suffocation of chaos

The cameras go up the stairs

Massed in search for the center

Which eludes the tightrope

Cantors in circle in darkness

Just out of grasp

Spears fly into the night

IV. Spring

Etched in crystal

Quanta all these timeless pathways

Stand poised to change us

Each second we move

They multiply us

Each look glance thought presence

Each pass flash emotion sensation

An army of futures

The trees grow before our eyes

The circles are joined departed rejoined

Guns ready slogans armed flags and permanance

Waving in a frozen wind

We give sex to the sexless we feel the time

Sharp cold glass crystal arching arcing illuminated

Not blue not black etching sillhouette flicker

Endless fractal forever green but not green

A pause of boundary's edges a look across

To see the turtles stacked each with

Fine flowers and jasmine incense the

Taste of tangerine accompanying them

As they pause in passing through the fields
