a list of things to be burned pages cinder words drop and release there are different ways to present there are different ways to engage here this leaf used to be a tree a pace of its own breath now a shuffled understanding I walk on all I held holy nothing I own is mine eyes look in a befuddled curiosity I ask my ego, "can we share the light?" "make it make dollars," they say I lose myself in all the right places a meandering legacy unwanting this freedom has no gender

Marathon Reading
a list of things to be burned pages cinder words drop and release there are different ways to present there are different ways to engage here this leaf used to be a tree a pace of its own breath now a shuffled understanding I walk on all I held holy nothing I own is mine eyes look in a befuddled curiosity I ask my ego, "can we share the light?" "make it make dollars," they say I lose myself in all the right places a meandering legacy unwanting this freedom has no gender
directly inspired by a Dwayne Lawson-Brown reading. no pauses. no commentary. no expectations. so inspirational.
