dig.
dig at the gristle between the meat and
the stone the bone the branch of the family tree
that digs heels into
history and the flesh the meat the promise of
action of animation of agility
dig at the stuff that links the two
the connective tissue that fascist the fascia
that tend/ons to bind
history
gets stuck into habits and habits and habits and habits
restrict inform allow
the limbs the bones to be enfleshed the flesh to be
stony the trunk to branch out and to
dig for secrets and roots and underground gatherings
 
dig your hands -- you knew it was coming –
dig your well informed phalanges towards the centre of my trembling:
the organs the fear
the stomach desire
the liver history
the spleen hope
the lungs music
the gonads dancing
we think with our heart
we feel with our head
we dig with our hands
and reach with our feet
 
where are you on this sloppy topography. which organ holds love
not the heart it is the
unseen the clinging the connecting the allowing
if my heart
if my muscle
moves without it nothing happens
the stone bones cannot think of action without
it
the idea manifests in this stuff
this shift
which binds
for which
i dig

(why my homework isn’t done)
 
his eyes are green. sorry. but they are.
green dreams green sea green
hope ringed in granite grey
i could never pronounce his name
 
crossing the quadrangle in a world of
abstract concerns i staggered my overwrought
mind directly into his mouth
 
he kisses me every time we meet
 
i can smell him between the pages of my
art history books
 
the question is always one of freedom:
revolution versus rebellion
and that form that encourages or
merely appeases that
filthy throbbing sacred need
for something better
 
i have been in the library every day this month
when he sees me there the kiss is a secret
in the chicken shop it comes with a kick
after history class he licks my teeth clean
 
sociology. anthropology.
kinesiology. psychology.
i recognise his morphology
in the slipping and flipping of my school book pages.
 
…
 
sitting in class
apologetic and eager
professor begs for synthesis.
my panties go damp

How to Get it Right

13/3/2017

Comments

 
  •  Decide - like a 4 year old - exactly what you want.
    • You don't need to explain why you want it. If people ask, you can simply reply 'because I do'. It helps to stomp your foot as well. 
  • Go back to playing in the mud, climbing trees and generally doing your thing.
    • This will save your energy and get you nimble for the moment when:
  • You act. Because you have to. Because something happens. Because the thing you want is right .... there. 
    • ​Still don't need to explain why you want it.
    • Also don't need to explain what the hell you're doing.
  • ​Get it. What you want. 
    • ​It isn't what you thought to was. It's what-you-wanted-surprise. 
    • There is a price to pay. Pay it. Happily. That becomes your story. Your legacy. Your wealth. Your family. ​Your future. You.
Picture
    (She said to herself.)

When they ask you ten years or more later how you achieved what you did, try not to lie. Admit that you even if you had a plan nothing went to plan. Admit that you wanted what you wanted and couldn't always say why. Admit that logic is very useful for many things but not for the arc of a life story. Admit it and give permission to everyone else to be confused and happy, lost and righteous, ambling unfocused ambiguous playful childlike and full complete respected successful citizens of our shared humanity.

    About me.

    I am fascinated by the ways in which we do and don't embody our selves. I do my own kind of research, and coach people to live their truest lives. I practice healing and communication arts, and I write about all these things. I am a nomad, these days living and travelling on my boat in the U.K.

    My studies have focused on whether feminism works in practice, what a healthy body does, awkwardness as a sociological event, and the myriad means for communication and their effectiveness in interpersonal and socio-political contexts.
