How Do You Show Your Weakness

11 Aug 2024

How do you show your weakness
What makes you afraid

How do you hold your weakness
What makes it disappear

How do you know your weakness
What does it make you do

How do they know you’re there

What is it responding to

Who do you have tasting your food

Are you ready to take the first shot
Did you bet on retaliation

Do you crack the bones and suck out the marrow
Do you swallow it whole
Do you spit out the seeds

Shut down the discos

What’s the worst that you assume

Barking at the bigger dogs

Respect

The universe is unfinished

What can’t you quit, what owns you?

Weakness as an invitation to love

We’re all fundamentally weak and frail, if we owned that for ourselves would we be better to other people? We’re born dependent

Poverty and annihilation
