I’d look
I’d answer
when other voices
did the same
But it’s so damn sweet
and it flows like honey
when he says my name
I’d look

when other voices
did the same
But it’s so damn sweet
and it flows like honey
when he says my name
"Love, like identity, takes all shapes, forms, themes, and patterns. Perhaps for no other community is love more self-defining and confining than the queer community" (Poetry)
For #pridemonth , Poetry magazine has put together a selection of queer love poems, sorted by themes, which you can read free online, right here:

«Giuro che io salverò la delicatezza mia
la delicatezza del poco e del niente
del poco poco, salverò il poco e il niente
il colore sfumato, l'ombra piccola
l'impercettibile che viene alla luce
il seme dentro il seme, il niente dentro
quel seme. Perché da quel niente
nasce ogni frutto. Da quel niente
tutto viene.»
(da So dare ferite perfette di Mariangela Gualtieri, SENZA POLVERE SENZA PESO, Einaudi)

was bending
on the asphalt
and I was standing
on the edge

«Ma perché essere qui è molto, e perché sembra/ che tutte le cose di qui abbian bisogno di noi, queste effimere/ che stranamente ci sollecitano. Di noi, i più effimeri».

"... mind is the bathrooms and plumbing of a parliament of diseases and what rushes through it is the unending stream of their shit piss sweat and spittle as they debate, deliberate, yell, carp, filibuster, scuffle, none of which the lowly minds pipes is privy to, and that piped shit of the diseases, rather than the parliamentary debate it cannot hear, mind calls structure, form (a kinda platos cave of cubicle shit), which it knows all to be made of...."

With 26 Spoken Word albums you need a sampler. A couple years ago I released "Joined The Sounds Of Waves" as an opinionated introduction to my recordings. But I've done a lot of writing since then. It's time for an update! My new Rural Gloom Sampler is now free to stream/download via bandcamp. https://damonthomas.bandcamp.com/album/joined-the-sounds-of-waves-a-rural-gloom-sampler #writing #poetry #SpokenWord #recording #florida #bandcamp

I’m pleased to say I have a poem published in the latest edition of Magma Poetry.
The latest edition is called “Grassroots” and the theme is, more or less, "hope in the face of struggle." If you turn to poetry for solace and inspiration in times of difficulty, then this latest edition of Magma might be for you.
You can get it here: https://magmapoetry.com/
Hello, new followers. I put up an #introduction a couple of times, but never pinned it. So here goes.
I’m an #eldergoth who loves #knitting, #crocheting, #embroidery, #handspinning, and #baking. I’m interested in #politics (I don’t talk about it much), #reading, #poetry (reading and writing), and #archaeology. #actuallyautistic
Please forgive me for temporarily totally losing my cool. I just learned through the Dutch Haiku Association that my haiku got an honourable mention in the 7th Basho-an International English Competition 2024! Getting such recognition in Japan is one of my ultimate 'WOW'- moments!😄

#Normalcy is dead.
Yet we have yet to bury it.
Climate would've killed it—if #covid hadn't.
Yet normalcy is dead.
Yet we have yet to bury it.
We only got so many #spoons.
We can bury ourselves or bury the dead.
We only got so many spoons.
Use them wisely.

#dailyhandwriting 4 How do you feel about spring?
Petrichor's call
Cycle turns with vernal flux,
in zephyr's tune, the sparrows tryst,
Beneath the sky of equinox,
life's woken kiss, in dewy mist.
Petrichor's call, soft and fragrant,
from dormant clay to verdant gest,
from solstice cold, stark and vacant,
to Ostara's warmth on Gaia's breast.
Perennial dance in vibrant glee,
the reaffirm of life's decree,
Nature's lesson, simply free,
to seize and savour existence, be.
