CATASTROPHE: words of peace in times of war

It is excruciatingly late And I need to sleep But I also need to write   I need to process Dissecting this confluence of emotion Living in a moment of historic proportions Flirting with the precipice of barbarism An apocalyptic age of mass destruction   I am torn between worlds […]

SINGULARITY

Light and shadow Cause and effect One and the same What comes next   I want your curse I want your disease This is sacred medicine Pain pleases me   We move through time Hurdling through space Tasting the fifth dimension Experiencing the spiritual plane   I am the singularity […]

DARK MAGIC

  Fire writhes upward Manifesting dark magic Emanating from the root chakra Liberating my energy Animating prophetic imagination   Tantric forces amplify Awakening archetypes of masculinity Awakening my inner king My fearless rising warrior My shamanic magician My most exquisite tantalizing lover   These archetypes interbreed Under the glow of […]

POSEIDON

A storm is coming together—a storm of emancipation We will break the interlocking chains of oppression and exploitation You lend your oceanic power to this atmospheric reverberation From frigid deep blue depths arises an armada of liberation   Your energy is supersonic—hypnotic and erotic Your torso summons a force both […]

THE GOSPEL OF NAIIMA

Living with purpose—living with joy and passion She is an oracle of truth—of psychospiritual reactions   Her totems are windows into her being’s manifestations The giraffe connotes perspective—the butterfly signifies transformation   The metaphysical power of snake medicine lies in her gifted hands We shed old skins but sustain our […]

CYBERPUNK BORICUA

Your body is etched like sacred stone—inspiring transpiring but never alone…our arms embrace i hold you close—angels arise from the ashes as ancestral ghosts… You focus your psyche on the quest for connection—you are a pyromuse and my queer resurrection…you edit digitized signals with your potent intuition—I amplify your mind […]

PROPHETIC TATTOO

  You are branded in technicolor—fierce and resonant… The iconography of many cultures manifests on your body—intricately executed and spiritually sacrosanct… You are a powerfully unique being and this potency is manifested in this prophetic tattoo—this creation that expresses all that you are and all that you aspire to do… […]

DECOLONIZED

You unveil epic strength embedded in each of your eyes—you are an insurrectionary army in supple erotic disguise…we reclaim sacred land with the clarity of our minds—we chart a path to liberation when we dance, writhe, and grind… We build decolonized power in the heart of empire—we seek indigenous wisdom […]

ECOLOGY

in our arrogance, we have claimed lordship over the natural world—we have let the talons of profit claw at our sacred mother and our duty to defend the forces that give us life…but the earth remembers—and our mother speaks…she speaks through the trees and gives voice to the dreams of […]

GLOBALIZE

before we had a globalized system, we had globalized energy:  fires of wood or wax to which we made sacred offerings of rare shells, silver, or gold…before we had a world economy or planetary pandemics, we drew life and sustenance from the same sun and moon–we saw our fates and […]

PROPHYLACTIC RESILIENCE: a COVID communique

so its official—we are now the epicenter of this global pandemic…and we aren’t yet managing to even test everyone with symptoms…this is all likely to get exponentially worse before it gets any better—leaders of color have plowed the ground building networks for mutual aid and resistance—prefiguring the faintly visible outlines […]

GENESIS

  I am a student of my own evolving mind—I am a student of the ebb and flow of time…I dream of a future where all of our roots intertwine—I dream of vistas of synergy between the erotic and the sublime…this is a genesis story: a mix of the dopest […]

BLOOD AT THE BORDER: a clash between civilization and utter barbarism

apologies… for this is a frantically written poem–struggling to come to grips with a cataclysmic situation…eager to fuel the white nationalist vitriol of his base, our would-be-dictator is deploying the national guard to persecute migrants fleeing poverty and desperation and seeking some faint hope of a better life…the stakes in […]

PERP WALK

its indictment monday and heads are rolling—its a perp walk of the privileged and our resistance is growing…we are fighting for regime change here at home—we are fighting for a future that justice and karma will condone…manafort is going down—flynn was booted out in disgrace…but we need more than the […]

LICENSE TO KILL: a reflection on the arpaio pardon

so the rogue in power has pardoned joe arpaio—simultaneously predictable and horrifying, this moment reminds us of the lives at stake as our polity moves through this maelstrom…a license to run rough-shod over civil liberties and basic human decency has just been issued…it is literally a license to kill for […]

SACRED GROUND

WORDS FAIL IN THE FACE OF GENOCIDE…A CONTINENT STOLEN MANY PEOPLES DISPLACED… TRAILS OF TEARS AND MANIFEST DESTINY ERASING CENTURIES OF CULTURAL TRIUMPH…THE SURVIVORS MAKE A STAND FOR JUSTICE AND DIGNITY…THE WORLD WATCHES AND LISTENS…BUT WILL POWER HEED THE DEMAND…WATER IS VITAL AND SACRED…LAND IS RICH AND TREASURED…DEMAND JUSTICE FOR […]
