tw: mention of blood
~written as a reflection to a dance performance called to give birth aside a grave~

pointed and flexed
angular and strong
animalistic and soft
green and red
the color of the mother
the color of her blood
voices cry out
overlap and layer
coat the trees and the ground
eight then three then one then none
they knelt together and hoped together
lifting up, up, up
they give themselves over, they break apart
they become the fog and the mist in this strange forest
drumbeats in the distance
music or a war cry, what is the difference?
darkness falls in circles upon circles
the shadows sing a lullaby
the devil, they say
the wind whips the words away
a crown of thorns, one may say branches
never to be worn
only sought after
look, look, look
look how soft the animal
look how soft the beast, humanity
