in shell like trees
coral blooms
flowering prescience :
all dead people are
suffering
//[resistancy \ to be present[
will we know
[you as]
ourselves?
aching tensions
can be a ritual
speak
to me no
listen let
me speak
to you
perforation to the other
dimensions
tasting w/ my finger
molecule absorption
of sound
settled stanzas open
up/end routine
perplexity in rhythm
rewilding vernacular vibration
rainbow web vortex
wyrd spyder hyb[ri]d
captures heartography
quilting
together/we
will not apologise no
more unreal world :
offer out nettles
shaking rattles
bellicose riddle
break open
my red breast
filigree sisters
dressed in weather
note:
This poem is a redrafted from an earlier version, here. I am still likely to cut and edit more to condense it as far as possible as the poem begins to form and shape itself into something more crystalline (labradorite).
Note:
This poem was generated through the rituals and practices explored in CAConrad’s ‘Ritual and Occult Poetics’ workshop at the Naropa Summer Writing Program 2018. Heartfelt gratitude to CA and to all my fellow students/collaborators/friends in the workshop, who collectively made this poem possible.
