Trebuchet
Trebuchet is a practice of re-covering and re-charging, a practice of losing control and coexisting with the challenge of not knowing, a practice of going under the water only to float up again.
We know no more than you.
We’ve just landed here
unprepared, unstable,
and not to be trusted.
We are both atoms and molecules,
disorganized, irregular, and confused.
The floor beneath us trembles,
Unknown pathways and unfamiliar signs.
Propelled bodies following multiple trajectories,
Agencies entangled with unpredictable forces.
Bodies that never stop moving,
Caught in a problematic temporality: ephemeral and elusive.
Endlessly shifting, always charging, always sinking into desires.
Desires contained, disrupted, and finally sprinkled through our bodies,
Glittery explosions before our very eyes.
As I close my eyes, I see the stars and planets reorganize.
This is a spaceship, a floating and suspended vessel,
drifting through voids, on the verge of crashing.
