Vol. 1, No. 2: Decolonizing, Decolonizing
Make space. Make hermeticallysealed thought. Sit & visualize a penultimate insecurity. Make in the continuous. Escape that. Be for Indigenous. Be for Black. Be for you, too, only contingently, only unfulfilled. Do not have false commitment. Do not think of greatest, or of discovery, or of exception, or of self. Intend a third vista of stars dancing against father grandeur. Write analyses in & in excess of English, beyond & beyond humanism. This operates like a mobile eagle, a disciplinary memory of its own theorizing. Be in writing. Take responsibility for anger, for gut work, & for living in a whirl with the ecstatic. Smoke leaves outside super-market. This is about fully the best we could talk of worlding & what makes innards. Rock barong & gown. Sound without past. Sound position of dying. Make naked scars of history. Be nowhere needed. Be behind & within somewhere. Rib apparatuses. Die alive in carbon dust. Die alive in work rather than in shadows that bridge us with words again. Give more circle. & refuse conjuring gaps & transgressions no more.
Carve a body, a terrain. Make room. Embrace the sovereign. Look at beak of struggle, not at promise or declaration. Make space outside of the violent. Make space outside of power. Make space outside of property. Mark ideas with super crayons the color of nobody. Work against I, & everything sick & illusory, sick with permission. Fill space with something of love & denim. Dust new positions. Be out. Name sleep when skin is dead. What is an ultimate literature of possibility? Think queer. Act in numbers. Act in language. To those haunting sun, wear shorts, expose bone, expose bolt, expose loose wire, find & lay veins for futures. For those independent, try knife & form. Wash war tissue. Surround a beginning. Form a long & just creative commitment to Black & Native & your life, this moment to build with people that which enables a learning of the possible for homies, for cousins, & for most anybody. Sound a typhoon. Sound a typewriter: these words, bridges, selves, perform a literature against all violation. - 53 -
