Gagged
Oracle. Oral traditions. The songs we sing of the future and the past in the present.
Breathe in breathe out. Spreading vira and visions. Taste, tongues,
stimuli. Visceral awakening. Freedom of no speech. Mouth wide open. Entry flesh. Jarring. Shut.
No society without language. Talking, writing, dancing, painting.
We are only what we tell each other.
