Please Write a Poetry Book in Syllabics¹

i want to complicate the term sacred, she told me

to make holy

sacerdotal: priestly

sākris: to make a treaty

studying words allows you to

see the desecration

of connection

what people

gave up

to be white

“but i don’t want to live in this alphabet anymore”

we have a much better one.

¹i commit to writing one of these before i die
