Reunion

HOUSE KEEPING: [Cross post] here is a recent essay I wrote comparing how Revival Season (a rap duo) and Yard Act (an indie/post-punk band) employed the elements of dance music. I hope you enjoy it. It's been weird not posting everyday and it has been hard to find a rhythm for concepts without Napowrimo prompts. 

spent and waiting for land
while lurching through tempest after

tempest more of a like kind dripping
Into each moment i am well i am

well i have never felt more in control of

my extremities never felt it coming
when my own umbilical cord leapt out from
the spent body parts trays of yesterday   wrapped
me up in a familial embrace this was a north
star this was mother’s milk this was everything
a warm handshake of the soul is meant to signify

reaching for my neck bring me in closer   slither into place
tighten the hold   cut off the air let me brain see the fireworks
i’ve been waiting for to erupt from my correspondence a view of

perfection each of us made clean
