ufsd Phlegyas Kisses a Black Ass

Phlegyas Kisses a Black Ass

if I were a greekmyth
i’d be the greatest spawn of chaos
purged in the blood of some castrated god
my written word a dirté canto
a calligraphic 3-headed dogma
guarding the grids of hubris
this oeuvre de plume—abookapomes colossus
i’ve never once had a taste for asphalt
but america still concrete citizens me in census
recurring in typecast as ‘malignant cyst’
on how the marbled ovaries turn
but i’m geek and African not Greek or Crete
or even concrete so by my own pathological discourse
i’m a shaman on the forward path
walking past-backwards to where the Ra also rises
but you want minotaurs
well poetry is a shill & I shuffle 3 queens in a labyrinth
no bull but Anubis lines up our mark he’s also executor
of my will and beneath the queen of spades
i’m a space age polymer with the head of a jackal
a black isomer with a poison quill & nocuous rime
ah, queen of hearts—i’m sorry for your loss

also Daedalus was a dick
I offered redclay for his wings
and still he chose a beeswax

I fear I have become so accustomed to audiobooks that when I have to read with my own eyes it feels something like—🕯️📖 alas, I must interpret the glyphs myself. #audiobooks #reading #readinggoals

headcanon: Gravity is a skripper at center of mASS and has eternal beef with Isaac Newton because he reduced her entire career to an apple, keeps telling people he “discovered” her, and still shows up like he’s entitled to a lap dance. anyway. #gravity #headcanon #classicalphysics

When our mouths met, I tasted it— the grudge on your lips. The first omen wasn’t poison, just the way that you kissed. Our bodies made language, our mouths filled with flames— if only fire had soft things to say. excerpt, ‘the taking light’ #poetry #poetsofbluesky #poem #writingcommunity

excerpt, “pretty little labor machine” I gave up wishing on stars, In favor of engineering your dreams— white picket fence, a pretty little labor machine. Made babies and forgot I was supposed to eat. Became just another way to transfer heat. #poetsofbluesky #poetry #poem #emotionalphysics

A reminder that fiction — books, film, games, what have you — is always political. The willful absence of “politics” in any work is itself a political choice and a political act. Who gets to tell (and sell) stories is political. It might be an undercurrent — covert, not overt. But it’s there.

Last night, you were tucked warm under her sheets— while I swallowed fire, the pressure making diamonds of my teeth. Images of you spiraling into a hotel bed went spiraling through my head— Is she my equal or opposite? I perspire in infrared. (Excerpt, the weak interaction) #poem #poet #poetry

#Rereading 1984 to stay ahead on the #news bc at this point Orwell’s just giving us spoilers. Doublethink? #MAGA has it mastered. Newspeak? Sounds like his truth social drafts. Room 101?

So my skin finally cleared up after a #breakout, but I can’t even enjoy it because I’m currently dying of consumption like a tragic Victorian cat lady. Someone bring me a fainting couch, a fistful of kleenex, and some #tea. Think of me fondly from time to time when I’m gone. #fluseason #dramatics
