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
