Denise Levertov, “Pleasures”. (I like to find/  what’s not found / at once, but lies …)

Hard luck and trouble
Been my only friend
I’ve been on my own
Ever since I was ten

[…]

You know wine and women
Is all I crave
A big legged woman
Gonna carry me to my grave

[…]

[Chorus]
Born under a bad sign
I’ve been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn’t for bad luck
I tell ya, I wouldn’t have no luck at all

[Outro]
Yeah, I’m a bad luck boy
Been havin’ bad luck all of my days, yes

Untitled (Freedom is near, Rose, Night), 2008-2023.

““The night time is the right time,” a time to reveal and fulfill desire, a time to dream, the world of the unknown, the hallucinatory.”

“Yes, “it’s always night,” which is why we absolutely need light”

“they had to camouflage their boldness”

– Kelley, Freedom Dreams

PARLA_MUTE, PR text by Jose Falconi–“… prepare yourself to contemplate (and enjoy) the critical difference that separates iteration from repetition because YONAMINE will stage a show on such a gap. When you get to the show don’t mind the gap: he inhabits it, it is his favorite place, his most fertile locus”
