If I could do girlhood again, I'd ask to be scarier. Less whimpering--more pyromaniac urges, more flirting with kerosene.

dogs unleashed;

—in continuation of this collaborative meta on the nature of Batman's relationship with pain.

// mitski - cop car // Emily Skaja, Brute // Batman: Europa // Sally Wen Mao, Mad Honey Symposium // Lingua Ignota, Pennsylvania Furnace //

#it always comes back to Europa of course it does—#but also it's about the way Joker's teeth are framed in that panel; the way Batman's look at them #the contrast between their teeth are actually quite a distinct feature– often emphasized in comics #the house dog's teeth are fixed; you wonder if he can even bite #the stray dog's teeth have grown unruly; he can't keep a hold of his hunts as well these days #and you wonder which is which #batjokes #web weaving #web weave #batman #bruce wayne #joker

Hi! Can you do a web weave on the feeling of being on fire? On how warm blood is? How violently you love? On how soft you wish you were but can’t ever be? On being a hurricane? On living in the holler?

Good advice: you cannot follow the dead but you can follow a legend until it stains you on the lips, jaw, teeth until you are its primary evidence.

[Rage is a quiet thing

You think that you've tamed it

But it's just lying in wait

Oh, rage

Is it in my veins?

Feel it in my face when

When I least expect it]

The meat tenderiser is broken

-necked so, I must soften

the beef with my father’s

hands, marrow-thick

with knowledge

the meat must be beaten

brutal into tenderness.

That anybody softens

with violence.

Another morning and I wake with thirst for the goodness I do not have.

Rage & it’s violence.

if i could do girlhood again, i’d ask to be utterly terrifying.

not terrifying as in unkind, but terrifying as in stop cruelty at the source.

terrifying as in more teeth and less hand-stitched closed mouths —

more rage [and not just the quiet, simmering kind];

rage like the ocean boiling itself to steam,

rage like the sun falling clean out of the sky.

if i could do girlhood again,

i would unlower my eyes.

i would bite the hand that feeds me.

after Sally Wen Mao, “Drop Kick Aria”, in Mad Honey Symposium.
