take a / B R E A T H :

“the illusion is that you are simply
reading this poem.
the reality is that this is
more than a
poem.
this is a beggar’s knife.
this is a tulip.
this is a soldier marching
through Madrid.
this is you on your
death bed.
this is Li Po laughing
underground.
this is not a god-damned
poem.
this is a horse asleep.
a butterfly in
your brain.
this is the devil’s
circus.
you are not reading this
on a page.
the page is reading
you.
feel it?
it’s like a cobra.
it’s a hungry eagle circling the room.

this is not a poem. poems are dull,
they make you sleep.

these words force you
to a new
madness.

you have been blessed, you have been pushed into a
blinding area of
light.

the elephant dreams
with you
now.
the curve of space
bends and
laughs.

you can die now.
you can die now as
people were meant to
die:
great,
victorious,
hearing the music,
being the music,
roaring,
roaring,
roaring.”

–Charles Bukowski, "Splash" from Betting on the Muse (1996)

Valeria Maglio

“I used to think I was the strangest person in the world
but then I thought there are so many people in the world,
there must be someone just like me, who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do.

I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too.

Well, I hope that if you are out there, and read this and know that, yes, it's true
I'm here, and I'm just strange as you

A Triple Lunar Nature :
Jamie Madison

Chaewon Oh

5일 동안의 잠을
하루에 청하고 보니,
과거의 나로 또 돌아가 있었다.
무서움과 두려움으로
바늘을 들고 꿰매기를 하였지만
텅 빈 마음과
복잡한 머리 속에는
죽음만이 기다리고 있다.
그토록 기다리는 나의 친구는
소리도 색깔도,
따듯한 감촉조차 없구나.
01.06.2023. 아침
Sleep for five days
As the day goes by,
Back to the old me again.
With fear and fear
Took a needle and got a stitch though
With an empty mind
in a complicated head
Only death is waiting.
My long awaited friend is
The sound and the color,
They don't even have warm tangerines.
06/01/2023. Morning

Alzatevi durante la cena,
ditelo che avete un dolore
che non passa.
Guardate negli occhi
i parenti, provate a fondare
davvero una famiglia
una federazione di ferite.
Ora che siete in compagnia
ditela la vostra solitudine,
sicuramente è la stessa degli altri.
E dite la noia, l'insofferenza
per il freddo, per il cappotto,
per la digestione.
Se scoppiate a piangere
è ancora meglio,
scandalizzateli i vostri parenti,
piantate la bandiera dell'inquietudine
in mezzo al salotto.
Fatevi coraggio, prendete un libro di poesia
leggete qualche verso,
loro per domani hanno programmato
il cinema.
Parlate dei morti,
parlate di voi e poi ascoltate,
sparecchiate, togliete di mezzo il cibo,
mettete a tavola la vostra vita.

sometimes the quietest image is the most powerful. in Varanasi, India. 2022

BALANCE, que en español es encontrar el equilibrio, en inglés es balanza… y si le separamos su primera vocal, es el alma convertida en ave que aguarda ser juzgada por el peso de su corazón.

Esta pieza nació del estudio de los símbolos, de las diferentes variedades del velo que en su significado puro es aquello que cubre, que esconde pero que también muestra al ser develado; velador del conocimiento para aquellos que cuidan de este. Así, sigue creciendo la serie de velos y de plásticos fuera (plastic off) que en conjunto voy creando y compartiendo con ustedes.
Les agradezco mucho su cariño con el post anterior en que mostré la primera parte de esta pieza. Bonito jueves!

(Dedicada a mi Maestra Luz García Ordoñez, quién me anima a quitar más velos de encima, gracias por todo tu conocimiento compartido y tu dedicación 🙏)

“As an artist my intention is always to observe, interpret, and influence the world around me.” –San Francisco Poet Michael Warr

Michael Warr wants poems to be picked up and applied like tools to what needs repair. In our latest blog post, he shares how poetry can be nourishment, medicine, bullhorn, or manifesto. → https://bit.ly/3Hcbj4h
