ARTISTIC LICENCE This month’s featured writer is multifaceted artist BEIJA FLO, who is hosting an exhibition of her art, poetry and musical work at Output Gallery in January. Do You Remember Before? My darling, do you remember before? I remember before. When you could not find the daytime, Scared of the light, Scared to open eyes. My darling, do you remember before? I remember before. How I’d wake, A whole two cycles before being asked, Just for you. My darling, do you remember before? I remember before. How the anxiety was too heavy to carry, So I volunteered, For the morning shift. My darling, do you remember before? I remember before. As well as I remember now. How I asked for help, To covered ears. My darling, do you remember before? I remember before. The present tastes different. A distant flavour, I only know how to crave. The Pirates And The Cobwebs I remember the pirates. Those who so aggressively pushed me off the side of their boats without as much as a bottle cork to float on, throwing sharp objects at me as I try and swim away. I respect these pirates far more than the spiders who made the cobwebs on shore. Webs which look so pretty from a distance, like wedding decorations. These webs do not glisten up close. Webs made of razor wire, holding captive all that once lived here. Leaving very little room and safety on the shore. Trying to push me back into the sea. Unlike the pirates, determined to see me die, these cobwebs do not have the guts to cut me – they are only brave enough to watch me drown. How noble. To silently drift away. To still glisten and wave when you catch my eye. Only when the pirates are far out to sea. Fearful they may return and cut these webs as they cut me. What a strange collection of loyalty. I didn’t abandon the ship. I was pushed. There was no room on land. So you can’t be angry I own the ocean. I had to go somewhere. My darling, do you remember before? I remember before. I I’m unhappy I do stupid things I drink Like the wine Is crying to be drunk I eat Rarely I cry Often I Accidentally On purpose Risked My own Life On an Important Day For My parents I’m sorry mam Beija Flo’s new single Nudes is out now via Eggy Records.
