poetic excerpts.... (audio)

peace y’all, if you would like me to do more of these, then you already know what to do… with love, q. So...I've been thinking for a while about making a audio stack. Hmm….You know, like, letting organic matters, such as myself interface with digital matter and not through keystrokes, but through voice voice and text and edit, maybe I'm not quite sure what I want to do with the edits if I want to edit maybe just add space I want a place where I can think and imagine and process externally and there's something particular about handwriting that is lost in a keystroke and there's something in a keystroke that doesn't quite occur in the curve of a letter of a pen stroke of a pencil dragging across paper and so this we tried this, and by try, I mean something different, I don't mean, think in my head, and I don't mean ponder, on paper, but I mean, do, as in put that s**t out there. and I see people and let people see if they really f**k with it right now it's gonna be free like this one and maybe the next one and then I might hide some behind the paywall because like this economy is economy’ng like crazy. Crazy. And you knowlights need electricitywater needs to run, and gas has got to flow an untitled acceptance. after a lifetime of goals, i found myself ‘wanting’ at the beginning, at the end, of each goal. longing only to be at its precipice, left in a malaise before and after a short-lived moment called accomplishment. leave me woven lattice daring wistful threaded my longings into a rope which descended from nowhere. olfactory perceptions gave lavender where direction ate horizons epitaph. venn overlaid. eulerian incompleteness. never destroyed, only muddled, released into perception. longing lacks reciprocity. articulated belonging in threadbare estates. tickling of tomorrow. tinges in never and promised today. i carved a universe to birth your sky; while you quibble over slices, crumbs. crafted stars with gifts in sun-ra, baduism problematics, and chasing enough. erudite with letters, commended by brilliance, known in reverence; where do we become more? desire left me weakened, not fragile, not as strong. a mountain is fragile at breaks, where i mended mine. regarded for ology; i am always and healing. i am never, i am forgotten, i am unfolded aura. nascent without tether. goaded by want.
