just made hard and patriarchally up
is not down

A ridiculous theory
that straight homophobic preachers
and teachers,
prophets

Society could not deny
what we saw
with our own two eyes.

We saw blackness
turn into light
soulful stars
illuminating
white nights.

Jackie was a pioneer

shining bright in 
the white...

It's early morning as we walk along the esplanade
The love of my life in the most beautiful white gown
Hand in hand we whisper, kissing in love...

Its angels and demons should be left behind.

the spindly fingers of trickster twins
that open the floodgates to occult caverns

Rebellion at The Cause


I’m running on a heat wave
Dancing with angels on a pin head
Slapped on a pallet

Uses me in mad artistic brush strokes

Tripping on a ballet
