“Don't forget love;
it will bring all the madness you need
to unfurl yourself across
the universe.”
- Mīrābāī
welcome ...
As I always obnoxiously announce on Youtube, "Good evening and welcome back, poetry love-ahs!" Welcome to my site...about time, am I right? This site is primarily dedicated to my work (written, aural, visual), but I also feel the same exact joy when promoting others. Let us collaborate! Let us work together as creators in this blue-green sphere! POETRY LIVES!! LONG LIVE THE ARTS IN ALL ITS MANIFESTED FORMS!!
POEM OF THE MONTH
You Declared War on Us
by Irma Pineda
Translated by Wendy Call
You declared war on us
considered us scattered dust
a puny animal
dawn’s weak light
Now you know we are many
friends of the rocks and mountains
we know the rivers’ language
we speak with the seaside sand
Now you know we are not alone
thousands of eyes watch over us in the jungle
and see us dance with death
and see you cry amidst the trees
because you too know fear
