🗣I'm performing new poetry tomorrow at 7pm PST with @nomadicpress! Link in bio for RSVP + Zoom + my full performance video :) 🗣 📝📝📝 ...dancing through hallways of the house in my mind Looking for fluid darkness already flowing inside my own cathedrals My body is not a temple, it is something much more divine; a breathing organism. Divinity my cells hold amount to more than my own soul Do they? Where is the line drawn between who will become more God than what is incomparable? But waves reflecting moonlight remind me I’ve learned enough tonight from moments that do not shine Beauty is really just pain, realphabetized into an etymology of gold over fractures, broken into a ghost of the word "perfect" And the same could be said for the house inside my brain I've learned to architecture from dripping dark seething out my pores The moon taught us all She always has             Been a reminder, radiance         phasing magnificence     Just like my every wake and wane and         window pane and pain and How everything can become it:               -pain- The one thing that will destroy so mercilessly it will amnesia your restful Make you forget you can pheonix the atom bomb in your heart Because all I can ever do is wait the moment I will run 3, 2, 1 And GO! As the strings fire, they ice their way in disguise To pass through and Trojan Horse the strings so tightly woven vertically across my face They are unlearning unnecessary tension when all else seems to threaten I can break through I know I can I just need a breaking so graceful you’d think I planned how I’d be reborn, cycle once more Unwind me! I know the mirror can He has my same hands to slowly peel my skin (The same pen as well) The same feet to get back up onto I take myself apart like no lover dreamed they could Undo myself so carefully pieces could be resealed in a single origami-precise sleight of hand... 📝📝📝 #bayareapoet #bayareapoetry #poetry #poet #art #livepoetry #slampoetry #slam #bayareaart #bayareaartists #liveart #love #openmic #bayareaopenmic #oakland #oaklandpoetry #oaklandopenmic #nomadicpress #spokenword #spokenwordpoetry #spokenwordartist #spokenwordartists #slampoet (at Ale Industries) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC4k2wLF7qp/?igshid=66ihy2vdtm50
