Last Poem Ad infinitum

Disillusioned youth turns formative men astray

Clinging toward displaced desire in hope

Of fire rekindled and orange on rock, cobbled

Tracing each new step

Yet confined to past's illuminated remorse

So onward, congealed in cerebral elegy

Burning the self for crucified lovers nailed to hope

Yet anxious, and piercing nestled thorn

For change comes

Too late to redeem jaded men

- 2015, from 'Poems Collected 2008-2015'

The 3rd installment in the album series, Jezebel In Heirs was the first album completed in seven years, following the hiatus after Easter Island / Cavalcade and the DSM recording sessions of 2011-2016. Songs for Jezebel took shape between 2016 and 2018, before the change in sound and electric reclamation of the proceeding albums. Folk songs played in the direction of pop and indie rock, revealing the transition of what's to come.

DSM, the rap duo with Zakk Davis, formed and concluded their time as a group during the seven years that followed between Easter Island, Cavalcade and the third release in the album series, Jezebel In Heirs.

Leonard Cohen, Daniel Johnston and several Bright Eyes covers were leftover tracks from these sessions that later appeared on 'Haymaker Hideaway (Covers 2004-2023)', the fifth installment in The Grammer Years box.
