it feels like time cannot pass through these layers of agony it sits heavy and stagnant, a fertile soil for the bones of grief how much patience does the pain have? this question haunts me, it waits like Schrödinger’s cat in the rubble both a memory and a looming threat simultaneously in my chest and there in the mud nobody listens to our bodies' protests and pain violence is not a distant country the television screens bleed into the carpet while we are ****** in the stillnes of sofas it is as if we are in fact watching the slow erosion of souls hunger is a parasite, it eats the future before it happens in the middle of hunger, the bullet is almost redundant for any child this is catastrophy: the step between the cradle and the ruble or the ruble of childhood they are suddenly grounded by the weight of their own nothingness in the logic of bombs, they are the same thing: a target. a mistake. a silence. nobody listens to the blood of the innocent time doesn't pass through layers of concrete & bone some are turned into the smoke of the strike others into the hand reaching from the pile or into the nothingness that fills the chest of a survivor
