HEXAGONS OF BABYLON

hexagons and lexicons—digging deep and dropping bombs…striving for freedom singing songs—crafting a future that is just beyond…orchestrate and stimulate—try to never prevaricate…build a bridge from satan’s gate—copulate and demonstrate…species rise and evolve or die—empires fall when the enslaved arise…corporate power quakes inside—when we build power and organize…branded backs and sculpted […]

BRANDED BODIES

stories inscribed on pecs and thighs—images branded in heart and mind…evoking hidden demons conspiring deep inside—bringing native-born prophesy to meet my eyes…a red and black star paired with an analogous sun—seducing my eyes and turning me on…my body is a virgin in this alone—can’t wait to bring your branded body […]

GHOSTS: a riff on the emotional subterranean

echoes of emotion transgress my heart and mind—i feel currents of suppressed attraction in confluence deep inside….the erratic logic of passion convolutes and overflows—i struggle with conflicting desires contorting my soul…like a ghost your words still haunt me—conjuring aspirations long buried deep…visions of angels consume my whole body—hoping my confusion […]

EVOLVING DIAGNOSIS CYLON-STYLE

our minds teem with divine and sentient seeds—roving connecting bringing consciousness into being…psychiatry forces neurodiversity into boxes–consumed with pathologization and discredited logic…discreet diagnoses overlap and interbreed creating a world full of NEOs–we resist neoliberal hegemony and imagine new ways of sensing cosmic signals… psychosocial distress is a symptom of our […]

CATHARSIS

enraptured by this moment i see energy everywhere–hieroglyphics coat the sidewalk and magical pixies dance with your hair…emotional release and mutual aid are our most potent medications–we need to heal our hearts and feed our souls reinventing this toxic nation…legions of sisters are coming forward exposing the human toll of […]

BYPO EVOLVING

lights flash extending potent and penetrating rays—i contemplate the cosmos absorbed in its seductive gaze…with every passing instant i grow into this strength—i fathom the galaxy’s width, its depth, and its length…our backyard was pregnant with potent energy—temples inscribed in the earth open for only my eyes to see…soldiers marching […]

IN THE FLOOD

caught in the seductive snare of synaptic riptides—i reimagine the impossible and practice pyrotechnic rites….faster than a ray of light inspiration takes hold—conjuring leaps of consciousness as my manic mind grows bold…i am swimming in the flood of the collective unconscious—i empower my inner god and worship my inner goddess…i […]

ROMANCING THE MONOLITH

love is a blessing—a gift and a curse…we long for so much—for romantic rebirth…in this long struggle for justice—we find comrades and friends…we build bridges and banners—hoping to win in the end…we live with toxic ideas—in obscene oversupply…we evolve into more—or we die trapped in a web of lies…the system […]

TRANSCENDENT POWER: the magical metaphysics of manic zen

breathing deep i feel my power—sensing my synapses hour by hour…in this euphoric place i see so much—the porous boundaries between love, lust, and trust…. manic zen is the name i have crafted for this state—i feel energy in every neuron that animates by brain…i focus the exponential energy flying […]

CONJURING CEREBRO

manic minds on hyperdrive—linked by mirrors while fires fly…conjuring a collective global brain—bridging the river between the psychotic and the sane…cerebro rises through euphoric nights—recruiting disciples and bringing truth to light…forging platinum-plated psychic blades—rebelling against the proto-fascist plague…we are an army of mutants anchored by anarchist cadre—evolving and creating a […]

STYLED FLY: a riff on anarchist chic

insurgency is born from primal roots—we yearn to become whole and to amplify our truths…styled fly our tribe rocks platinum plated combat boots—we rule the night as street art vixens and recruit the rebellious youth…sustained by community and careful self medication—we plot and plan imagining a transformed nation…we pay homage […]

TRANSCENDENTAL FIRE: conjuring a life cult

i inhale nicotine so fiercely for moments of peace—stimulants and stabilizers keep me sane and offer moments of release… we fear the looming fascist order—we fight for the right of migrants to transgress borders… in this moment of capitalist barbarism we must seek solutions from deep within…the regime in power […]

THE MINISTRY OF MORTALITY

the only thing in this life that isn’t temporary is mortality—we all live under her shroud both individually and collectively…we are surviving on a planet perilously close to mass extinctions—in the face of utter barbarism we are organizing a fierce resistance…living in the moment is a challenge—finding enlightenment is an […]

SACRED SPIRITS: una poema para el día de los muertos

spirits of life—angels of death…hermanas y hermanos—give me your breath…we traverse the earth—we search high and low…we seek karmic rebirth—buscamos el cielo…espiritus santos—cosmic incisions…we strive for solidarity—we name our own missions….dia de los muertos—day of the dead…we honor the memories of ancestors living on in our heads…sacred spirits—poders de dios…we […]

A SURVIVOR’S MANIFESTO

its been more than three years since i jumped off key bridge—almost ending a life that at the time felt so tortured…never consciously suicidal i was caught in a visceral panic attack following a dream that felt like a premonition of a torturous shift at the georgetown establishment known as […]

RIGHTEOUS PREMONITION

the winds of change are blowing with force—we face toxic politics in bombastic voice…the tweeter in chief rips apart gains won by our movements—but our insurgency is growing building tunnels linking to us…i see waves of energy in the sky dancing with fractals of electricity—i feel divine spirits channeling through […]

THE MATHEMATICS OF MANIC ZEN

i see parabolas and hyperbolas in the fires i burn outside—the fractals that coat my sky are the signature of the night…i feel energy and possibility emanating from deep inside—my dreams consume my consciousness bringing peace and taking flight… churning flames resemble hurricanes orbiting a floating rope–we imagine a power […]

JESUS AS A FEMME

if jesus were alive today she’d be a black trans woman in the belly of the beast—if our cosmic power were brought to bear we’d uproot this sick system with all its insipid ideological disease…a black jesus would defend migrant families from deportation—she’d tear down the wall at the border […]

OF STABILIZERS AND STIMULENTS

thoroughly consumed by manic zen my imagination is flying free…i pray that the lithium will do its work and keep the most perilous demons buried deep…psychopharmacology is a science but its practice is mostly an art–finding the right cocktail involves many detours and innumerable false starts…the brain and body are […]

SYNAPTIC RIPTIDES

my mind is wired on hyper-drive—stimulated and cyber-wired… synapses flooded with dopamine—make me dance and make me scream… the untapped power of our minds is immense—galactic energy in the present tense… forging new connections and new revelations—bringing light to the dark and unleashing cosmic creation… the riptides lure me towards […]

HEAVEN’S MOUTH: a quest for liberation

as long as our ancestors have inhabited this earth—we have sought stories to give meaning to our death and our birth…we have craved sex, money, power, and pride—we have yearned to give voice to what gestates inside…the human species has evolved to yearn and transform—creating new systems and crafting new […]

VESPER VAGABONDS

we are creatures of the night–we surface when we crave company… we transcribe sermons weaved of pure light–we arise as a hypnotic symphony… midnight vespers in search of supplicants–transgressive rebels opposing sycophants… we rise to resist cognitive dissonance–we build power to resist photo-fascist elements… trans and queer vagabonds we rise […]

PARADOX

i see ancient idols in the sky—i dance with angels late at night…my neurotransmitters are caught in a blazing fire—my psyche longs to languish in the light…if you let me into your matrix—i promise never to let you down…if you let me know what you are facing—i promise to extend […]

EBB AND FLOW

magnetic and hypnotic—surreal and psychotropic… i indulge in my vices—both addictive and erotic… moments of meditation sustain my psychic peace… moments of revelation give my soul a taste of relief… love a lifetime ago comes back at light speed… my boundaries are porous and my thirst for pleasure is deep… […]

UNHOLY ALLIANCE

at night i tag city streets—or patrol for luscious finds…i live with reckless abandon—i crave the pleasure of carnal nights…i forge a karmic alliance—between the righteous and the wicked…we rise up in defiance—and give in to lust and her lascivious kindred…manic depressive heart and soul—i navigate my cerebral poles…i believe […]

THE ONE: a prayer of introspection

we search this earth for love we hope to find–we explore many hearts–we shape many minds…holistically invested in this karmic exploration–i dig deep into my soul for succor and salvation…deep in mediation or aroused by dopamine–my senses crave sensation–my body learns to breathe…instead of seeking my one–i open my heart […]
