## Transcript

I am threading the consciousness of this present Thursday gathering with my steadfast Thursday, and all of these elements do something to keep the struggle towards possibilities of a more just and equal future to me. I am not dead yet. The dead do move me to go on and die harder, softer. Are we getting closer, or is this a space of foreclosures? Because outside it's opening up. I huddle with hope and contradictions. I see my hero and my tyrant. Right, Miss June? They hug, holster, humiliate, hold a baby, a weapon, a piece of paper, a poem. This is a poetry that silhouettes the horror and hones the holy.

You sway one way or the other. Collapsed. Sinister. Mm. How Libra of you. Clusters are forming. They come through dark matter clusters. Coming. Come closer. Constellations or contraband. Come. Crowd. Come on. We coin stories. Marching stories. Morphing our God body of change. Awestruck. Oh, what an army of the ever living prophet. Octavia. Wild night on the snow. Cast. Television. Chilling. Let's melt the static. Plow the black ice to the center, a foundation somewhere underneath here. I huddle in hope at heroes inside keeping house. I horror in hope at big dreams. Executing small in Babylon. We huddle in humility at every character.

Healing we hope in huddles at the public interest who's focused on providing a space to breathe, huddling hope, a poem and a promise to stop time and be able to really see the fair share is all we're looking for anew, for good times and for bad times. We may be the living, yet the dead do deliquesce these demands over their graves. Something felt and known forever in the soil. In other poems. Cheers to the hope clusters. See when ancestors balance scales even more than seen. And we do the living. We bled here to conceive a chance to get it closer. Coming. Come on. Thank you.
