The wait is over. It’s here.
My book The (Pulsing) Language (of a Pulsar) has landed — hot off the press and already humming with meaning.
💫 Bilingual. Multimedia. 10 years in the making.

🎧 Before your lips part — desire gathers, time twists, and the world teeters on the edge of a kiss.
A poem turned into song (via SUNO) and video (via Kapwing).
What does that moment before connection feel like to you?

🎭 New reel: A…’s Gravestone Inscription
Written in 2003, after a personal loss. I composed the music and recited it.
It’s about mourning, memory, and the fatalism of love’s departure.
Let the curtains fall.

and the trembling courage it takes to finally let go.”

UNNECESSARY PRESCRIPTION
Not a cure. A craving.
This poem?
Written in caffeine, lust, and insomnia.
My voice. My music. My plea.
Love me back to life.

A poem I wrote under the spell of the moon.
A photograph by @madlenduderstedt that feels like a dream remembered from another life.

Happy Monday! In this week’s reel I am inviting you to experience Breakfast Note, which represents all of the things that you wish you could have said to the person that you love looking them in the eye but could not. This is one of the poems from the Une Petite Vie de Mort chapter of my book.
