Nobody knows what a horse looks like.It's a simple trick, really.
poetry
Because the sun will die if we stop talking about itbecause the world doesn’t want us to trust
each other—maybe it’s too big
a job for the animal we are,
who would keep track of whose
turn it is, this second, to save us?—
there are those of us who simply never
stop talking about the sun.
poetry
ChrysalisWe were formed of shit and bruises
to sing of skin and marching,
our swollen lips and bellies fly
to consecrate loose seeds.
There I found my fluent tongue
in a veil of foreign skin,
plucked it bleeding
from the vine,
and forgot my Christian name.
poetry
There is a loving bearwe're learning to lick apples open and dance
with our despair. i want to be the bear inside me.
let your hair down into mountains.
bake flowers into bread and scream
this waking up wide open.
