    Sexual Healer (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    I just watched this video, and found it to be extremely enlightening. I feel like no one talks about this; or maybe we are trying to, but it’s all clouded in the shadows. Something we have forgotten about ourselves; something forgotten amid the pockets of magic we’ve tossed out in exchange for greed and pride, sinful luxuries. Unless you were born to be a king, then I suppose, you should indulge in life’s many luxuries, but this is also a sacred mystery and with great power always comes great re

    Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published Glowing eyes of the surrealist, or orbs out of shadows she comes down on her knees, like all her creatures do and strips them back to hunt the marrows. Inside her darkness, what she imagines to be inside the head of malice, or some other pink organ where there is the woman. You, strange creature, I see you, lurking and step around the flying cart, snag a needle or three or six; hook onto the monkey, and notice where he does

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published On a whim of desire, the wind speaks: on each limb, there blooms three branches, on seven petals, on caterpillars that turn to mysteries. On the bracing nets of each spider’s web; on an assumption, the river speaks: on the space that is consumed, take what may be on the necessity of each fragmented life. On the moment of time, hands knit cluttered souls onto blank CDs, on pockets and patches. On each blankness, your voice s

    Little Black Bird & Heaven (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Little Black Bird I wrote about you today, little black bird. I said, to my friends of the living, “There’s no place where you might be.” Because you’re gone, little black bird. You are dead. And the chimney sweep reeks of your flavor, and there are customs that have forgotten the sweet taste of what it means to soar, like you, little black bird.
