A blog and burrow by Nicole Buzzelli
Shapeless
The more lines I draw, the less shape I got. But I guess, the more shape too.
Looking for Advice. Found Some in Spacetime.
I imagine low-paneled walls, moss green paint, fresco bodies on the ceiling. Every thesis I’ve ever written has been about the body.
i have my body softly
my winter:
I. somewhere, truth and silence are each other. both are empty; both are full. both are vaporous; both are sturdy. be quiet, then be honest. be honest, then be quiet.
II. poetry is a way of being and a way of being experienced. write poetry. be poetry. experience others as poems.
Childish said: can't live your life on a bus
Blah, blah, can't live your life in a doorway.
On Being Human (some field notes)
1) I am in Georgia, in Memphis, in the Ozarks, the mountains, the city, an open field in Missouri, house under a thunderstorm, again, body under the rain, and I wonder: where am I? where am I? here? here? how do I make myself into a thing that's gathered?
prayer for existence
So I pray. I pray to all the gods and that is also everyone. I pray to all the people, keep your Existence close. I pray to the Ukrainian people that at the end of this long day, you are in a bed, safe, so safe. I pray to the trans kids in Texas that the expression of your Existence is as it should be, a sacred choice. I pray to the hands. To my own, work and protect. To the ones laid across my collarbone, keep your hands on my collarbone. And to the Ukrainian girl on my computer, I see you and keep your hands on that rifle.
heal is the mountain and the climbing of it
Soul is a place, the fertile lands of psyche. I am a cartographer, mapping it. When I come to terrain that I've made legend, beasts in their own right, I do not hand over my power like I did when I was a child. I have consciousness now. I have tools. I have new ways to relate. Instead, I acknowledge the ways I mistakenly confused my experiences as fixed truths. I bow to these experiences, and to my child-like relations with them, as the mountains they are.
