The Practice Of Love
(专辑: The Practice Of Love - 2019)
Ok. Page 2? Yeah. As I
inhale, as I
inhale, as I
inhale and feel my lungs fill up with black breath to exhale, what comes out is: I
wanted to write to you about love. I
hate "love" in my own language. It contains the
entire word "honesty" inside it, which makes it sound religious, protestant, hierarchic, purified. The
word "love" comes in the
way of love, and makes me want to say sorry. I
say sorry with black breath, black letters staining the
air around me, the
walls of the
house, the
bed, the
desk. Maybe "sorry" is the
closest I
ever got to expressing love. In my bed, honesty is lying on top of love, sucking the
blood out of it, occupying it. What's left is a
little corpse. I
hope I
don't laugh when I
read this. Remember when I
started saying "of corpse"? Hahaha! Every time I
wanted to agree on something... This is so funny. Remember when I
started saying "of corpse" every time I
wanted to agree on something? I
was inserting a
little slice of death with my agreement. Whether it was coming out of my parents, coming out with my parents for a
boat trip, or agreeing that a
boy was cute. Corpse will definitely be sitting inside the
world for love. Is that how you pronounce it? 'Cause I've heard so many pronounce... Um-umbilical? This is very visual, I
have a
thousand placentas, they are all burnt, language doesn't fit, community, affinity, togetherness, the
words don't work, or they are blackened, of corpse. So, what about you and I? For you, I
feel a
closeness that I
can only explain as love, the
unknown, the
black hole. I
was going to say "chaos", but I
say "the unknown" because I
don't know where uncommon ideas and thoughts come from. Because I
don't know where are common ideas? Do you have to say common? Um, is it ok to say, "But I
say that wrong because I
don't know where ideas and thoughts come from"? Yeah Someone who thinks that she's made, 'cause she's the
most, like, blasphemous being by some, like, just having, taking different choices in life. Like, you know, like all the
sacrifices you make as [?] like [archetypal?] difference, and the
mother and the
daughter, the
person that chooses where you begin in life, and then there is something... maybe you, when you're older, you get to this point where you, um, realise that maybe we're just like all the
others, and it really didn't matter whether you were different. So, I
thought I
was different, it's something. It's like a, it's like a
teenager would say, like, "I thought I
was different but I'm just like the
others" Yeah, but, uh, a
teenager always believes secretly that they are different, um, and... Mm, they do, yeah, so, it's like, everyone always thought they were different, but as you get older... Yes. I'm still hanging onto that a
little bit, but, I, I've just done some writing about, um, this stuff, um, for a
book about abortion, and, um... what, one thing that I
kind of felt, um, becoming someone who's in their late 30s that doesn't have a
child, it's like, I
have to accept that I'm part of this human ecosystem, um, but I'm not the
princess and I'm not the
main character? Because I
feel like maybe the
main characters are the
people that have kids because they literally keep the
virus going. But, um, I'm like, I
thought, maybe I'm the
talking tree, or, like, maybe I'm the
witch, or maybe I'm, I'm the, I'm a, a
supporting character, and that's a
hard thing for my ego to take, 'cause I
wanna be the
star of the
human story, but I'm not. I'm like a, I'm the, I'm someone that is in the
background in regards to survival 'cause I'm not directly supporting survival, I'm just, I'm supporting it in a
very abstract way, and possibly not supporting it Possibly not supporting it, antagonist? I'm, I
could be an antagonist but antagonists are imperative for a
virus to survive because it makes it stronger Yeah
