She Lies Below, Part II

And, for the second instalment….

Mousai stands with all Trans people, and all minorities, and will use all and any subversions to challenge a world that denies them.  

This isn’t ideology. This is duty. 

She Lies Below, Part II

Thalia

Those languid eyes that stare
twist and turn me in murderous fire
that only a closed eye fathered. 

Mother, Mother, Mother!
Shout, beneath thine Turin’s shroud
with our cracked knowledge that only stationed tongues hold stadia. 

Ever and always
staring eyes
sharpen the razor blade for which I was born. 

Yes, it was violence I spoke with then
and violence I speak with again. 
Its self affliction won’t make me martyr nor murder. 

Just nothing.
