numbed    blooming          alloy      from   scream   to    mumble      hip   hope    of    the   only    authentic    ones      
Catatonia    my      tongue      is   slipping      down     my   throat    as      the      serpent      lips    in my      spine       
which    is   choking    too    into     the arrow   note    green      note      la   lutta       intoned   against    coaxed  honor      
there    were   no    words    on     there        that   body     hadn’t   articulated        when  it     said      bending   in  every    
endlessly    sturdy   austerity    ecstatic       you   won’t   need      those   chains      
Speechlessness     the place  where    thought   collects   like   a    hive      and     hides       in    like   effort   in   the   
    force of grace
Is     the     other   side    of        the       scream        at    the     primal     scene      swaying         not     yet   saying       no         which    hums        like      undeserved      offering       not    yet    saying      indeed            which     lies       
like     yesterday      same   as   saying   nothing      is    so     alive     I’m    a    music       Maafa   a    muse     in    her  
Atavistic   visceral     hold   up         that’s    the    girl’s     name         a      silent      killing     some   strange  voyeur     
Yearning          for    herself     who    she     is    strangling
