poetic to a fault @kit-tempo - Tumblr Blog

the other bodies want to know what we call ourself, and I don’t know how to explain there is no We here, no Our. so I say absence. sometimes.

When I tell you what I am, I am only babbling in toddler talk; embarrassment to my body who has never questioned what it was: alive. and then not.

how dare you. hold them in the same claws, unfiled, still braiding bellies deftly, leaving us loose enough for the art to leak out, but never the blaming

after all isn’t it true? that you are 3/4 invader. and If that is the bloodline seen by the world, is it the bloodline that won?

you stop wondering why your mother never identified as Canadian when the first time you hear about chattel slavery in this country was in third year university. when you don’t know most of where you came from, you can’t let go of the land your body can recall.

the seams of our ribs may not align perfectly, but I see all the ways their bones hold them up. I don’t need language to witness how they’ve built themself

beg me to wrap this new lovers dough-skin around my bread-knife teeth. knead it out with my tongue.

make a heist of my soul, something abrupt and deserved: there is something about gold that hurts to touch. we think there is something good about hurting to touch.

The evolution of a building can be seen in it’s masonry. Which brick did you break to make the window in your bedroom?

tell the kids not to talk to strangers like me, that I will eat them alive to fill my own bread belly, insatiable victim-becomes-monster but we both know that you’re the one with the appetite for baby pictures. you cannot stop me from trying to keep them safe.

Update

Hey babes! Sorry for being MIA, I’ve been prepping like mad to go with the Vancouver Slam Poetry team to the Canadian Festival of Spoken Word. I leave tomorrow! (holy shit!)

I still have 2 chapbooks for sale, both of which I’m bringing to CFSW. I’m happy to ship free within canada. Like Falling (the ghost girlfriends chapbook) is 10-15$ sliding scale, Hypomanic Girlcrush is 15-20$ sliding scale.

DM me if you want in on them and otherwise, I’ll be queueing up some of my favourite quotes from my works for this site because I kinda took everything else down.

Feel free to follow me on instagram @kittempo and on twitter @kit_tempo if you wanna keep up on what goes down at CFSW! I’m also gonna go see my friends Bicurious George (bigcruiogorge on instagram) Nisha Patel’s (anothernisha on instagram) feature at Toronto Slam tomorrow night, so you’ll get some shameless promotion for them too!

when the trauma unmakes me at the end of the summertime, (the sun always makes me worse), I will forget any word that doesn't mean "burning", and you will kick the duvet off the end of the bed

We are still so young; I am not convinced we will ever be old, just grow until we can parent the traumatized children within us. When your tall 5'10" body needs to be held like a third grader who is already learning that Mother's touch is not always loving, put your head on my chest and don't apologize. I will not touch your hair until you tell me that it comforts you, and then, still, not until you ask
