Water
Água
Here.
Sleep like a stone
Sing like a shark
Our tongues are golden.
Dawnsio
Double Act
RED heaters
wombs and placentas
“the oblique life is very intimate. I shall say no more about this intimacy so as not to harm thinking-feeling with dry words. To leave the obliqueness in its own uninhabited independence.”
INTUITION
Nora paints the apples with purple nail polish
“What I do by involuntary instinct cannot be described.”
Sglefren fôr
The sea doesn’t wait.
“but now I want the plasma- I want to eat straight from the placenta”
I don’t want to be a vessel
To be a vessel
To dance with water in the mouth
To sing like the Dulais. Llais Dulais.
“hear me with your whole body”
The texture of water changing from crystalline to saliva.
Thick and warm.
Ocean.
“I can stand it because I’m strong: I ate my own placenta.”
“There is no pattern to follow and the pattern itself doesn’t even exist: I am born”.
Ash
Ash
This is soft.
If fire could burn choreography, i would be ashes.
Forgotten, invisible, emancipated.
I gather: wood. yawning forms. saliva.
Fire tears oxygen away from time: the swollen joints of structures float away.
let it BURN. BURN. BURN.
And, please water the pestilence tomorrow.
