d/T: The Boundaries of Your Bias (live performance‪)‬ Being in the World

Poetry & Beats by Dulcinee DeGuere
Piano and Synths by Tao Ruspoli

The boundaries of your bias
Trickle, trembling
With a shudder that you deny
Though it wraps you in a fog
So taught your veins start to pop
I’m trying to rupture something I can’t see
But it dangles right in front of me
Entangling my dreams with delusion
And death
The stench of which flirts, converts, and perverts
The precious flames of what I thought I could be
An animal
A siren
Anything other than this flesh
How can I cauterize this wound
This womb that pulses with fire, desire
The dire necessity
To rip skin from flesh
And uncover what’s underneath
But somehow, always
We speak of other things
Freedom,
And the sun
Because we’re scared of duration
We’re just fucking impatient
And no one taught me how to breathe
Try, and try again
Try, and try when
Try, and try again
Try, and try when
