“Mitosis – a process of cell duplication, or reproduction, during which one cell gives rise to two genetically identical daughter cells.”
The body remains singular, but it divides itself based on belief, amidst its ambition to historicize all the senses of relief. It is dependent on where home can be. For example, I sleep soundly while bombs fall thousands of miles away. Quiet, once my peace, becomes unsure of the family it shelters. The spokesperson on the television tells otherwise. “Peace is sure, we have seen development. Let us wait.” Confident, yet invalidating, at the same time. “You will be saved.” Who could tell such a thing? It’s never a question of how. It’s always a question of which hue. It’s always a matter of comfort. As it is, what it means: Certainty. Whoever sleeps easily at night grows to their heart’s content and leaves their husk and bones easily. The body remains singular.
The body remains singular
Amidst its ambition to historicize
It is dependent on where home can be
While bombs fall thousands of miles away
The spokesperson on the television tells otherwise
Confident, yet invalidating at the same time
“You will be saved”
It’s always a matter of which hue
As it is, what it means: Certainty
Grows with the heart’s content
The body remains singular.
