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
