what a gluttonous city; imagine
every murder feeds a mouth with teeth; when the concrete is hungry, it shivers a sentry into wake; the skyline is its softest the night of a fresh kill; the city is hungry; the ground rumbles; a vessel is taken; the city hunts; preys; kills; feeds; glows in satiety

black love stories all around me, two black alt kids on the bus, both with bob length locs. one kid tall, lanky, deep brown skin gets up to depart at their stop, and the other kid, wicked cat eye, face gleaming with constellations of metal, and a spiked choker passes them their skateboard.

one thing the church did teach me is how to use the technology of music to enter trance states:to enter into the throne of worship. from this place, affirmation, blessing, the fruit of the word is born.

in a car with an uber driver.
before i even get in, rolls down window: “what’s ur name?”

get in car.
“what’s your pin?”

driving…
“you know, i just found out xyz place has a parking lot.”

them: respond in a tone that suggests their previous remark

bad bitches have beautiful boundaries.

bad bitches have boundaries + boundaries are beautiful = bad bitches have beautiful boundaries.

when someone dies their energy is still present it is just the physical that is no longer. they are just fully in their energy body now and that calls for and requires a new language and mode of communication. they are still here, and we mourn the familiar, but they are still. ❤️

godspeed. 🙏🏾🕊️⚡️🕯️💟

the finality + permanence of death | [from this side of the equation]

it’s unfair.
it’s a robbery.
they deserved more years, more choices.
it’s unfair.

just a note, i find it interesting the word here is “swallowed up”.

thinking about how essential the gastrointestinal function and process across [every] human culture + religio-spiritual frameworks,

thinking about an artist statement i have about “eating” adverse conditions as a way towards
