OH FUCK LMAO😭 I'm featuring TONIGHT with Canada-based poetry mic @urbanlegendspc ! Link in bio to RSVP & watch my slam poem 😁 hope to see you there 🏵🏮 °•○●○•° I've been witholding entire continents from escaping out my throat. Archipelagos of affection at the end of phone calls crumbling as they graze against my tongue in muted defeat. Recollection of fragmented grief. Heart strained, not broken Caught in your storm I became the eye And you saw me whole I witnessed your broken And the shattered glass Got caught in my throat. Crumbled into my heart And left dissolving kisses. We lie awakened in a field Of novel landscapes, liminal in their rooted mycelia, expanding into a portrait of our sacred. Our limbs intertwined as branches. Intersmiling warmth into our cores. Differently, this time. In an alternate timeline where the sun could meet the moon without either of them healing from their history of crater-wounds because there were no comets to scar us with widening arteries, blood searching for a heartbeat. Every expectation dying inside my heart. Rewinding their flesh, newborn, still. born. Memories flashing in my cinema-cranium: ["i need to keep you fed." ears carressed. body memory. soft faces hugging at their zeniths. breathing into each other. diaphragms oscillating into one another. vased crimson carnation bent at the neck. ghost of a black cat observing my bathroom mirror-stares. bawling at your hand on my blackhole gut. "my b..." is TV static becoming an ocean of cicadas.] returning to new hollowness, unfilling into a corpse forgiving its stagnance. I've so much left to grieve. Chrysanthemums and carnations can transmute from sympathy and affection into innocence and Virgin Mary's tears. The retrograde of love is grief. #bayareapoetrycommunity #bayareapoets #queerpoetsofcolor #queerpoetofcolor #poetsofinstagram #instapoet #instapoetry #loveislove #rebirth #heart #grief #death #alive #alchemy #slampoet #slampoem #slampoetry #slam #love #instaart #art #artistofcolor #latinx #latinxartists #latinoart #latinoartists #chicanopoet #chicano #surrealism (at Ottawa - Ontario, Canada) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFS_l4SF_17/?igshid=vkjdvkhir4kd
