“Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things.”

And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.
- Raymond Carver

Always there.
with confidence, I travel among the stars tonight, and she / winks at me, all glory and harmony, her touch is music.
Royalty in Kind
The monarch flew, and in her way / bowed to me and asked to stay, / if only so to sneak a peek / at love’s purport, cheek to cheek.
I am New York Part IIII
I am two bodies held together in desperation, / spooned in a furnace, micro cosmos spinning / in an inebriated orbit as they are baptized / in the sweat of their undying love
I am New York Part III
The chocolate man melting against the hatred and injustice / Whose scarred lips once spouted poetry like a secret garden
I am New York Part II
I am the murals painted at random / around the city, it is in my blood / To mark the world around me with / the colors, once given to us by the earth
I am New York Part I
I am eternally defiant / I am the handshake and the pound / I am the rumbling beneath the ground
