I choose to go into the storm.
Not hoping the rain would cool my thoughts
no longer entertaining (the concept, notions, ideas),
of a middle-aged man, soon to be old.

These Are Times of Tensions...
obviously but this segues into my last #Poetography event post. You see, a few thousand kilometers ago I noticed that #beauty is everywhere and that #joy bleeds from our everyday existence. Then I realized something else...

I am not the one who writes,
I am the one who burns.

Each verse is ash from a fire
that asks no permission.

The word does not belong to me,
it pierces through me.

And in that trembling,
I am born.

How do words and art become art and words? How do they shift our perspective and our making? A conversation about #visualpoetics #artpluswords #paperart #collage #writersasartists with the wonderful @aimeeeliu on her Substack, MFA Lore. www.mfalore.com/p/when-words...

Thank you so much, @redivider_mag, for including my work in your beautiful pages. #blurredgenres #hybridwork #visualpoetics redivider.emerson.edu/birthing-nat...

Flesh meets shutter click
consent signed in shadow
between exposures.

Your breath fogs the lens,
making hunger undeniable
without proof.

Red light on your throat
I never touch, yet the shot
comes out trembling.
#imagepoetry #poetryandimage #visualpoetics #frameandflesh #cinematicpoetry #lenspoetry #afterlight

Skin breaks into grain;
desire flickers at twenty-four
lies per second.
#imagepoetry #poetryandimage #visualpoetics #frameandflesh #cinematicpoetry #lenspoetry #afterli

Your mouth in half-light,
a bruise learning my outline
the frame sweats slowly.

No soy el que escribe,
soy el que arde.

Cada verso es ceniza de un fuego
que no pide permiso.

La palabra no me pertenece,
me atraviesa.

Y en ese temblor,
nazco.
