Digest
What is wrong with all of us
Is it something we ate
Is it way too late
Have we seen the last of it
Can you still surprise me
Have we reached the peak
What is wrong with all of us
Is it something we ate
Can we ever reciprocate
Have we seen the last of it
Can you still surprise me
Do I even want us to continue to be?
We’ve eaten too much and can’t digest it
Our bodies are starting to reject it

I know that you know a little boy
I know that you know a little girl
I know that you know a little kid
how much longer until they have to know
the weight of the world
the gates before the girl
the weight of the world
you do not value her health
you do not hold the precedent for all of the different kinds of wealth
it's a rime to say you have all the answers
it's a sick joke to say you fight for hers
the fate of the world
rotating or to be hurled
depends on the fate of the girl
you have no intention to help her
only give lip service to lifers
you could restrict it
but we'll still need it
i think i get
by now it must be habit
to criminalize our bodies at every turn
it is falling down
it is crumbling down
sometimes I'd like to help it down if it wasn't for you
we are losing ground
we are all going to drown
sometimes I wish us down but for you
cause you are going to have to hold
the weight of the world
these poor babies aren't poor babies yet
our poor girls are poor girls our poor girls

wide sidewalks hide the cracks
good for my friends not able
but they're not invited to sit at your golden table
terrorformer can't you tell we don't want what you sell
we just want to keep the places where we dwell
weight of the buildings peering over us - they see us in the streets
they commune to subtract us from the view
a place for dogs to play but not for weary heads to rest
can't you read the saigns they say NO TRESPASSING
terrorformer can't you see you're fabricating enemies
you kidnap our children and you claim them as your own
you pour foundations with our bones
we all know your fields will grow fallow
but you cut our evergreens
and you use our fat to make your tallow
the light looks bleached and bright inside but we don't want in
we're just criminals for simply standing in your doors
and you break more
cause you can make more
and you build more
but you lock more
cause they cost more
then you close more
and leave us more empty than before

do you have plans for a gun
does your neighbor make you want a hundred
do you think you'll ever fire one
(have you ever fired one)
into someone
one is the number of bullets
it takes to take a life
i propel 3.3 every second
and you have the right
to fire me
I'm the one I'm the gun
you can caress me protect me I'm your loved one
make sure to keep them from me
cause they look scared and you look lonely
you wouldn't want them to damage my integrity
I know you like me cause I'm fun
I am the life of the party - the red one
I know the correct formula to convince them
you know the statistics every one - just repeat them
history might but we'll have won either way
as long as you don't let them take me away
cause me - I'm the one I'm the gun
you can caress me protect me like your loved ones
make sure to keep them from me
cause they look scared and you look lonely
you wouldn't want them to get their dirty blood on me
give me your arm and we'll walk down the street
you and me, we'll be the envy of all that we meet

Arrow Fletching
10:36

I never took a wrong turn if I could, never shot a stray arrow, so naturally all of them were bent. I traveled with a large company most times, guides to point me, guides to support and anoint me, whether I asked, wither I wandered. Meanwhile you learned how to read compasses alone using the stars and performing monologues to inanimate audiences - a shifting deck and plane your norm. Taking directions without prompting, and some in defiance.Living brightly from the start because you could never help it.
Somehow we landed in the same place - wildly different once. Like a bear in Africa. Not really, sort of. I made myself look busy making targets I would never hit while you looked down from your eyrie into my pastoral life - hunting and hitting, and somehow choosing me amongst all the city dwellers. You saw me. And I guess it stuck.
If you knew you'd fire true would you still shoot
If you knew what you'd lose would you even aim
Or would you just keep on fletching arrows
Well you fell from up high and I caught your eye there's only one thing to do
Well your aim is good but you only ever shoot prey and I'm standing so close
We snuck up on eachother - what was it about you, what was it about me?
In the silence of the afterglance you drew the barb back to the haft and shot me straight through
Yeah you shot me straight through - what were you expecting me to do, what could I possibly do?
So I took the arrow shaft and I broke it in half and I handed it back
Yeah I'm giving it back but I'm giving you half, it's a bloodbath
Yeah I'm giving it back but I'm giving you half and I'm stabbing you with that
It's a bloodbath

Rest

I want to know
the crease of the eyelids
to the trail traced down armpits
towards ridges of ribs
And I want to learn
the smell of the air
between miniscule hairs
upon neck backs and
Where she gets her power
how she takes it
what ancient fire awakes it
and can some part of me make that
Because it gets confusing
when your admiration sits beside an adoration so willing to be consumed by it &
It always rests
I will contest for nothing less
Than seeing and not touching her majesty
(verse by Jake Danna of CURTA)
This is the place where I’ll stay while you choose what to keep to yourself and what to let me in on
I won’t bother you if you want nothing to do with me, ‘cause we must pour our time water into pitchers frugally
I’m not a saint, kind of a flake but I try hard to make an effort to forgive and to brightly live and I’m interested in people who give a shit
(Simultaneous verse by KokoLA of RAREBYRD$)
I wanna know what you know what you write what you build and your guild, even. I wanna know what you’re a part of even if it’s something that I’m apart from
And from the other side of the glass, you might be one that someone knows as that: a participator, a collaborator in something bigger than just one woman can be but
The difference is you kinda make my skin sizzle
You kinda make my heart skip a little
And I go hot white in the middle
So where do you get your power
And how do you make or take it
What kind of ancient fire awakes it
And are we building something to burn together
Because I’m so arrested by the idea, but not enough to stay frozen in zones that don’t exist and can’t be chosen
That’s while I’ll be here finding fuel for the bonfire
Fuel for my own fire
Fuel for my own bright fire because it always rests
I will contest for nothing less
Than that it will rest

forays and forums
social and solo
scared and silent
does it make you move though
your intentions clear from the moment you first appeared
arms raised; a movement
arms lowered; a movement
fists raised; a movement
fists lowered; a movement
voiced raised; a movement
voiced lowered; a movement
eyes raised; a movement
eyes lowered; a movement
thoughts raised; a movement
thoughts lowered
thoughts lowered
thoughts lowered.....can't happen
when they come for you will you play dead
when they come for them will you play dead
when they come for us will you be dead already
however little you have its more than them
however small your voice its louder than
however much you wish you could you can for them
how much longer can you stand to play dead
stand to play dead
