Dearest past:

For as long as time has held me to its worrisome doom, I have been struggling with you. I am at a loss. A nervous wreck. A spontaneous combustible ready to burst and let go of my small semblance of normalcy. You have fed my fears and paranoia. My insecurities have been obliterated completely until there is no more to be had. I have no trust. I have love but am afraid to give and open up because of all that has happened at your whim. Friends and lovers have gone to the wayside all because of their broken promises and shredding words.

Lies told. Falsehoods believed. Rumors spread like a cancer or some other form of disease.

In a world where we're only guaranteed one thing (Death) you choose to blanket me in sadness, mistrust, and others misdeeds. Why am I so gullible to trust a hand that reachest out? Why am I such a coward? Why am I such a simpleton to want so much more for the world and be looked upon as so gar beneath others?

Why do I hate me so?

Dearest past...why won't you let me go?

21st June 2022, TODAY, to mark the summer solstice The Silent Academy is publishing Pamphlet Number Fourteen in the seasonal poetry series. • “Items of Drift Becoming” by Brittany V Wilder is an exploration of tenderness. Contained within the pamphlet are four exercises which take meandering journeys through the senses and the varying things which they move toward, away from, or touch against. • You will experience solitude and intimacy with another. You will experience humidity, blood, and the brushes of softness which feels like love. • This pamphlet may inspire you to buy or steal flowers. • Link in bio. Naturally. • #thesilentacademy #poetry #poetrypamphlet #Independentpress #brittanyvwilder #itemsofbriefbecoming #tenderness @brittanyvwilder https://www.instagram.com/p/CfDiz_sqnA3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

From the upcoming Silent Academy Pamphlet - “Items of Inconsequential Dysfunction & Beauty” - to be released on the spring equinox - March 19 2020. • • On the Nature of Windows Consider a cloud so full of storm and water, so full of depth in the sky that perhaps it will never drop its full weight upon the world. Consider every broken key lost in every midnight journey home. The cut metal precision, useless and unseen. Gather together some balloons, as many as you have keys in your pocket. Take some string and tie one key to each balloon. Wait for midnight. Walk out into the world. Do not lock your door. Walk as far from home as you dare. Release your keys into the night. Return home. Sit in your doorway. Do not sleep. Write three lines to document the way you love the sky • • • #thesilentacademy #pamphlet #poetrypamphlet #fluxus #meta #itemsofinconsequentialdysfunctionandbeauty #art #sky #cloud #arrow #smallpress #independentpress #poetry https://www.instagram.com/p/B9rsG7ynJeT/?igshid=yi9c7pv7grv3

On the Nature of Purpose Take a pencil and a pencil sharpener. Twist the pencil into the sharpener until the entire length is transformed into spiral flakes. Consider all the things that you could have written. Whisper these things across the shavings and with your voice form a breeze to blow the flakes onto the floor. Do not sweep up these flakes. Live with them there, on your floor, until you have walked them into powder. • • From the upcoming Silent Academy pamphlet - Items of Subtle Disclosure. • • #itemsofsubtledisclosure #thesilentacademy #pamphlet #poetrypamphlet #art #pencil #indiepress #smallpress #indiepublisher #art #conceptualism #experimentalart #nicecardboard #cardboard #pencilsharpener https://www.instagram.com/p/B9UkmuFHOet/?igshid=1riyssmg1iwo1
