Here I Am

To say, express, write – to get off our collective chests: I am feeling lonely, in need of touch, in need of social contact. How did the Castaway do it? (He did it by acting in a movie). What to do? Creativity. Imagining: Outdoor soccer distanced passing (usual passing) with fellow Brooklyn queers And aContinue reading “Here I Am”

perhaps you can fill me with a little bit of hope a little bit of sand paper to smooth out the rough patches on my living room wall, my check bones, my nation’s capital. November is coming. July 8th, 2020

my love for you

in a world of gods and loves and ashes, all I can hope for is for mine to be pure gold… love tracing down our backs, marking a code of innocence– this moment startled me, but the love I have for you, or had– it startled me more. August 2, 2015

Cure

The outside collective soul of this world will forever cure our self-doubts, anxieties and fears. The spirit lives on in all united soil to stand strong-footed, sure of our smallness in humanity, in love.

A Wish

I will convert, for you, twenty seven times over in order to spin Earth’s axis back to it’s original position. My secret haven, original, right, cool to the touch skin on skin and I believe again that I can win when my feet are tired two at a time again I wish it was youContinue reading “A Wish”
