even backward arms need
to make a mixed-up
mixtape
(sometimes)
like a hot-headed hammer
my good morning and
your goodbye
my pulled weeds
and your fat death
there wasn’t much stuck and i
made music anyway
‘cause i
am still here
and i
know i
can stay stuck
and
numb and
missing but instead i
gesture the panic i
bright up my power i
activate my blessing
it hurts
but not all the time
it doesn’t take
much
to make me remember
especially birds
especially music
especially track 4
can you still hear the music where you are?
