N(a)(ur)ture
I ring clichés I'm a dead ringer
for them
ways in which
my body betrays me songs on repeat
in the background.
Vibrations that come to me if I summon them these are
echoes I want echoes that will not break
my body but can and (should by all means)
should. Spirits that choose to be gentle. This is the sound
I want to make.
Sometimes violences show up and look
so familiar we don't even know to throw them out of bed.
One day I will choose
even the dial tone.
