Outside the MIA with a headache so overdone Can barely reason for words but here boymoding the twisted skin brown oak art oak the cicadas beat the odds still kicking the crickets start in early tonight ushering leaves to their seats leaves surrender dim the lights everyone's getting a move on "the living need light the dead need music*" and the feeling needs a table to carve the sun is a coin falling between flats of clouds the students in hair that precedes them knotted to each other faces' close as knotted shoelaces the shudder and the break outsider, something is wrong a shadow on the lash, a splash disrupts the waves in space I feel myself opening again dance with fluid the sharp marble whittles my headache into a round stone why shouldn't I throw it? I feel myself opening again came last night to the image of myself, round and huge and beautiful as the earth self rounded to a stone why shouldn't I throw it?
the quote is reference to the film “The Living Need Light / The Dead Need Music” that took many people to make, but was written by Sáng tác and Trịnh Công Sơn. Full credits here https://www.the-propeller-group.com/thelivingneedlightcredits. Showing at the MIA in Minneapolis in fall 2022.
