Catatonia

Antonia   Antigone your   moan be a koan   a keeping sphere or    natal occlusion and country  

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
