I’ve just come back from doing a 2 day foundation training in non violent communication with Laura Harvey in Oxford. Will feedback more on that. It was fantastic
Here is a poem by Kate Gallon on the riots
Today
I will sleep with my boots on
My bag is packed
I will wait and watch with the News on
The door is locked
I will think- is this happ’nin’where you gone?
The odds are stacked
Today I will sleep with my boots on
Today I will sleep with my boots on
The duvet is floral
I will hear the strain of the sirens’ song
The floral is trampled
I will not claim to know what went wrong
The trampled are choral
Today I will sleep with my boots on
Today I will sleep with my boots on
The mouths are covered
This is my undivided attention
The scarves are swallowed
This is my undivided attention
Fuckin’ Politic’ly Muffled
Today I will sleep with my boots on
And tomorrow
And the day after.
We’re all in our riot gear. After all.
We’re all in our riot gear
The mouths are scarfed
