oral culture

 


liberating freestyle poetry from text


somewhat like bad boy bubby

there are things ive heard i wish i hadnt

a deep trauma

that rattles echoing periodically inside my being

like demonic possession

with no cure but easing via catharsis

how can i trigger warn

before speaking from the unconscious

where from breath errupts

whether loudly or soft?

‘The Garden of Love’

  ‘The Garden of Love’ (after William Blake)   Some young punk Tryin to be ‘hard’ Pussyole! with his mate Said “no flowers!” I was holding some wildflowers To put in my vase at the apartment I asked him “why not?” He said nothing That’s right keep walking bish! To bloodclot!
