Vulva Speaking* (Into Bride)

Having Santa Claus in my body
The simultaneity of its contradictions
Where to go between steps (the first declivity)
Bewilderment of weight and displacement

Cezanne’s unhappiness at his roses dying too soon
As part of my being unteachable
Muscle memory--I imagined it effortlessly
The lover animal, the human animal

As if questioning if the act is virtual
Most of the work is lost
To extensivity (movement, projection, mobility)
No constancy to the momentum in space.
