Andreas,
Your poem "I have abandoned blood" reminded me of the following poem by Huey P. Newton so I thought I would share it with you:

One day I suddenly realized I had forgotten, name age sex address race, I had found myself
What is greater than love or hate, I will tell you then,
what is greater than love is the relationship I have with the tip of my finger.

Want me to break it down? I can break it down.
It's a simple concept.

If I define myself as my thumb, I deny myself my fingers.
If I define myself as my fingers, I deny myself my hand.
If I define myself as my hand, I deny myself my arm.
If I define myself as my arm, I deny myself my body.
If I define myself as my body, I deny myself my universe.
I diminish myself.

Peace after revolution,
J. Otis

Really liked your samples Andreas.
There are too many good lines to mention, but the last few of I came to fight are really strong "fists cut on daydreams" for example. Keep the words sharp, well done. Graham
