Kisma Queer

Allowing life to grow
Or allowing it to leave
Is to pass a thread
through the body

when the belly grows
and the babbling surprises you
it is always upward
that the salmons gallop

It is like dying on the other side
But the earthquake
Unfading
Is sad
a tissue that fades
On a spell’s current
The murmur is also soft
and it slides away from you

there are no blinding lights, no
bells
that opens
into the inevitable
nothingness

and there is a uterus
in the darkness
tucked away
where the calm calls
galatonous clot or nothing

wawa sullu wachoy
kikuy wachakuy

beginning or end
of a genderless other

to complete the flesh
that comes from the blood

where it is smooth and
strong
we redeem

wanki pechi jip jip
ll’ qua lape miujalal

It says in secret code:
life or death
of a collective
shadow
