The Siren.

"the circle of life"

1.
grown men chase a ball
& this is the thing matters
when your country dies

2.
no curse i could call
upon the vast unthinking
worse than what they'll get

3.
all these phones like the
Roman dodecahedrons
will be a myst'ry

Hay una mujer desaparecida.

"At Cabaret yesterday, Cliff said his line '…if you’re not against all this then you’re for it. Or you might as well be'. The audience interrupted the scene to applaud that line so strongly it stopped the show. Doing a show about the onset of fascism right now is. . . chilling." --@bebeneuwirth.bsky.social via
