performance poetry
Performance Poetry is poetry out loud; poems brought from the page to the stage.
Unforeseen
Just the same as our physical attributes and genetic compositions, stories of folklore and precaution are too, often inherited. We enter this world chimed with the fables of our forebears, braided into the instructions of our mundanities and routines where they eventually become inlaid, and uncontested. Regions in our territories became traditionally forbidden as they lay permeated with Beasts of agile ferocity and boundless height. We have built our survival around this elusiveness, hunting at night so as to avoid any encounters with these savage varmints. Though still, there exists the occasional flint of curiosity, as the beauty of these creatures remains undoubtedly obvious, nearly impossible to ignore; striking enough to capture even the regard of our Elders. Though despite this seemingly shared bewilderment, the Elders’ deterrence shall never waver, as “a predator is a still a predator”.

Santa Clause
Santa Clause: Nine The evil, awkward energy of last night wanted a fight & it got one. It tried to ruin my day but I chose to focus on what I do best after I had to pray. I carefully chose the words I needed to say until I was done. I won. The war goes on but now she’s ultimately gone.
