DE-STONING ~ 2022

poetry is my first language

my favorite portal through which to walk

as eye observe my world,

nurture what eye am & reach for my people.

eye swim the emoceans of poetry to

disrupt the chaos that saturates this culture

with the intention to chart different paths

toward and to create an artistic

liberated & beautiful life of

feeling & power & thought & truth…

to unapologetically

& with my whole being
