What must be valued
I’m learning,
in clarity and in error,
are spaces
where
feelings are held.
Here—in a poem?
And elsewhere
(JJ)
spaces where feelings are held
Category: landscape
A clear day in Antigua Guatemala or breathe benevolent notes, their particular legibility
We surrender in the teeming utterance
of materials soaked with sentences already made in air
To disappear into the right words
and to be their meanings. . .
radiant points, scales and
variations of beads and dots
breathe benevolent notes, their
particular legibility of trackless
Resistance …
Submerged in an exhibition, mostly
Bebi images
Works in progress
Tipico Antigüeño
we must tap the well of our own collective imaginations
“There are very few contemporary political spaces where the energies of love and imagination are understood and respected as powerful social forces.”
“we must tap the well of our own collective imaginations” (RK)
“In life, the monsters win” (GRRM)
An ordering of imaginaries felt in the here and now
Maneuvers to other planes of there.
It’s fine, I’ll stay here dreaming poems and smiling in italics.
