FEROCIOUS
A song written by Minka Wiltz
Recorded at Airtime Studios as part of
Wise Panic Residency
There was a time…when all I could do was cry
You left me out here to die
While you watched me try
I heard you laughing while you lied
Excuses you made that this was good for my pride
I know better now
It’s ferocious this feeling deep inside of me
I don’t care if you leave
Stars retreat
The sun shines in on me
I’m not lonely
You’re gone
I am free
Embodied storytelling for audiences who value depth over noise.

MALNOURISHMENT
from “47…And Counting”
Poems by Minka Wiltz
Poisonous thought
Greed refined
Laced with hatred
The will to live
Deteriorated
Learning lies
burned into memory
Vast trenches carved into truths
That never existed
Evil allowed to rule
While growing in our silence
Marbling into our speech
Questions steal away
Denying us as unreasonable
Flesh cut from bone
No longer grows,
The soul expands
beyond mortality
Still, we endure
