Fungus grows on my tongue

5/25/2018

 
Dame la lluvia
So that i can see my dad cry


Give me a miscarriage
To birth 1000 oceans


Sleep in the warmth
De tus brazos, abrazos


En los días largos
I swipe space bars to travel a ti


Idiota idioma
Colonized by too languages


No quiero escribir amor
Accent, acento


Tomemos un momento to
Speak the same palabras


In the same exacto lengua
Y never understand nosotras


Receptionist in Malcovich
Green grows por los gringos


¿Entendiste? ¿Entendiste?
I take an anticucho skewer


Use it to scratch the inside of your throat
Whisper chirimoyas into your red bean


Moon cake! Curse the pheasant air you breathe!
Quiero ser una bruja lucuma


¡chifa! ¡chufa! ¡enchufa!
Gracias por la lluvia


Nunca puedes decir que tu me entiendes
Porque nunca puedes entenderme


¡Dadá dadá! Mamá,
Dígame, ¿adonde fue mi hermana?


You asked me where I'm from, but
You never asked me where I'm from


Electricity gave us white lights
My home less incandescent


Mi casa en el viento
Hongo crece on my tongue




--
Hunting - emotion, language, home, self, lost family, expressing myself, too much sense in the world i want to not make sense, want to find no reason, i want to be a witch and curse you so that you can never try to understand, you will never understand, wanting to speak Spanish and feeling unable, feeling colonized by 2 languages and still wanting to learn more Spanish
​

Fucking up form, form of dada being run by men, invisible labor by women, dada as always having existed, dada white Spanish men and duchamp as response to war


Hunted - by white men, white institutions, non chinese latinx, people who dont understand mix or mix of Chinese body speaking Spanish, whiteness as family breaker, broken family, home mover/displacer, where I'm from, past países, warmth then violence, by language


I want to curse language


curse language, response to being hunted by language, generations of languages, compromiso/compromising between languages


Hunted by people who want to relate their experiences to Peru when they know very little about Peru or my experience


Random someone's dream abt mushrooms and aphids
