For the reader? Spoken word? Performance art? Can a poem be all three? #DalsonBallet

 

house of o’dwyer for Dalston Ballet

 

 

Crouch down

bent double

over the counter

 

blunt force trauma

fill the empty interior

shut me up

 

shut me down

manage the beast

stop the hysteria

 

work for the tongue

roughly speaking

worship and adore

 

under the weather

come in my eye

post traumatic stress disorder

 

let me go

out patient

I can suck at it myself

 

taste the meat

feel the heat

down I come

 

enjoy the ache

Medicate me

choke on me

 

prevarication

i don’t need anyone

the taste of it

shit

he’s back, for more

I can’t take all of it

split in two

 

brain on the floor

rub my face in it

fight me for it

 

ride me home

teach me what

my mouth is for

Silence

 

In refusing to lie

Refusing to lie about it

To lie about it all

 

About what I know

All what I know

I know I will

 

I will I know

In refusing

Refusing to lie

 

Lie about it

What I know

I wlil I know

 

I will be

Reduced

Reduced to silence

 

To silence

Silence

The last, or the first, of my A-Z of writers writing about writing. A. #WritingQuotes #A2Z #naomiAlderman ‘Expect to be disgusted by your own early work. If writing is…’ See u all tonight.

 

‘… your vocation, if you hope that it might be your salvation, push on

through the disgust until you find one true sentence, a few words that

say more than you expected, something you didn’t know until you

set it down.’ – Naomi Alderman

in  exploring areas that have already been thoroughly surveyed.’

C. #writingQuotes #A2Z #Colette

 

‘… tempting paper, at such frantic speed that sometimes one’s hand

struggles and rebels, overdriven by the impatient god which guides

it – and to find, next day, in place of the golden bough that bloomed

miraculously in that dazzling hour, a withered bramble and a

stunted flower.” – Colette
