Gone are the former lovers Who held you against your will Sediments can **** you too We are all aware of that As ancestors fill you in On their escapades Beyond the veil We hail taxis And light candles Wear our sandals In the winter Do you dare Approve of my uselessness And my foolish endeavors We are slow as snails Gone to gather rainwater We are healthy failures Financially ruined At upscale funerals We demand the water bearers Be heard Firm against the herd Birds throw stones In our gardensΒ Β To find their own way home Close the televisions You are yearning For individuation Satisfy my occupation With strategic capacities I speak my own language My own code unfolding From the depths Of the subconscious I speak in categories And hear myself Interpreting the Silence
