warmthofrelease I think human evolution
is directional
there is an other force
to be drawn to
as gravity
as flowers growing out to the sun

something we push
towards
being





why is it so easy to fall asleep?

I think we NEED to be vulnerable
a skill
as_necessary_as_breathing

we need to give way
to the foxes and the thieves
let their knives to our throats

that they might decide
to spare the defenseless

to let them wake and rise
and kill the nocturnals slowly
with what passes beneath the sun

in little increments
rounded intrest
just a little trim off the margins

too small for anyone to fight
if they even notice

all_these_little_lies
and things_gone_missing
all_the_countless_little_red_lights_run

adding up
day by burning day





maybe we began
by growing in the direction
of the source of our energy to live

maybe we don't know until we know
that we don't want to become
the thing that nourishes us

we reach out open up, we recoil retract
what catalyzes the change in direction
towards opening or closing?

we do not want to be
what_our_mothers_and_fathers_were
of course

naturally
we all arrive at the conclusion
we do not want to turn into what feeds us

but when we wake will we find
that we have become them again?

because you know, it's inevitable
you can't just stay awake
you will give in
to your needs
and your weaknesses
again
you will compromise
you will accept these terms
you will live to fight another day

you will fall
asleep
again
