An excerpt from "Inside the Columbarium of My Old Misery," written in light yellow text against a light blue background. The poem reads: "Remember me, please— / dumbstruck. Demised.

Here’s an excerpt from my new (prose!) book. It’s from the opening essay, which addresses 兔儿神/the Rabbit God, a queer deity from my home province of Fujian. But really it's a prose poem, an ars poetica, a manifesto. In Cahoots with the Rabbit God is out on Dec. 1. Preorder now: tinyurl.com/4mc6vnjf

DEAR RABBIT GOD,

I don't believe in suffering for one's art. I believe in frolicking for one's art. I believe in eating well for one's art. I believe in farting for one's art. I believe in making beautiful friends for one's art. And making plans with one's friends for one's art, I believe in this utterly. Especially when those friends hold you accountable to making your art, revising your thought, practicing your politics. I believe that my gaysian life is integral to my art and I believe that difference should be embraced, not shunned, not simplified. I believe that poems that love earthly difference alongside or even more than spiritual transcendence are better poems. I believe in falling wildly in love for one's art and for no reason at all. I believe in orgasming for one's art.

a sudden chorus
magnolia leaf like a shield like a dress you could make into armor into a crown to keep off the unwanted advances of ice storm
fiber thick enough to eat to line your gut to make a home a shelter even a width of blanket woven with the flex & bend
of honeysuckle vine the kind that sings virginia sweet not the red spears you planted in colorado that waited
until you were leaving to bloom to salute the sad curl of avocado grown from seed during early days of pandemic
suddenly surprised to find itself in high altitude & winter after being born into fruit in mexico does the cherry tree
remember how you held her caressed the soil at her edges wondered over her white summons of flowering her june of cherries
