Tèdébà
This is for the flesh
This is for the instincts
for the wildness forgotten in a bottom drawer
This is about a remote place
you can only access from the other side
of a nausea
of a deep frustration
a feeling of
”oh let me die now
make it stop
take me back to where it is safe and well known
I quit desire
I see no point anymore”
This is about a remote place
This is about how wind sings
”you thought you knew what your quest is – you know
nothing”
This is about how whales sing but you have to imagine from the distance
This is about how one lost speech and reason and still sings songs that release bodies
like if they had screamed the scream they use to swallow away
