Afraid of Motion Con/Jur/d, 6/20/2022 In the midst of sticky, sweaty awkwardness, she said “You can kill me If you want to” Should have left then and there Why do we get stuck? Allow it to build and build ignore the karma through hyperfocus on or distraction from reduce our life to complex flourishes empty entertainments singular stories When this song, this grass cut this long workout, this this is a many-limbed dance singular hands type a poem a multitude of limbs move: Elephant attends a funeral Whitethroats return to Albion Kestrels boom European Bee - Eaters flee They aren’t afraid of motion these fingers, these toes arms, legs, torsos afraid of change we reject our endless extensions.
Grass
As silver tears, they weave and lace
Sad patterns upon her face
She waits for you
So low below a laser sun
Through velvet fields she runs
Reaching for you
And so you bleed now
Your hand holds the knife
That is tearing your life apart
Why don't you leave now?
The city's too heavy
And your dreams they melt in the sun
On mellow blue, birds curve and glide
Through shadows of grief she slides
She waits for you
There on a hill before the dawn
In silence a promise torn
She turns from you
And so you bleed now
Your hand holds the knife
That is tearing your life apart
Why don't you leave now?
The city's too heavy
And your dreams, they melt in the sun
As silver tears, they weave and lace
She waits for you
So low below a laser sun
Reaching for you
On mellow blue birds curve and glide
She waits for you
There on a hill before the dawn
She turns from you

“Why don’t you leave now?” is all that I heard just after I wrote “Should have left then and there” What a beautifully surreal, trashy synchronicity.
Much love,
