#claimingland

[eric-sadahire]

It's a widely accepted principle,' he says, 'that you can claim a piece of land which has been inhabited for tens of thousands of years, if only you repeat this mantra endlessly: 'We discovered it, we discovered it, we discovered it....’

Kurt Vonnegut, Deadeye Dick

Sweet Marie

What courageous beauty she shone-

A terrible mistake to fall between.

Her hips, her lies, her grace,

Every smile wrapped in silk lace.

  Wishing she was going home-

Claiming land within another heart.

Turning to yet another face;

A warming, yet discomforting place.

  Something inside made her roam-

Undressing and stripping the harmony,

Of what she thought she was living free.

She could be, oh sweet, sweet Marie.
