windwaters aguasviento

please forgive the language of a rapist
but we are in amerigo no longer
shores mountains plains mountains shores islands
thru two great oceans
pole to pole
walking resting filtering dreaming
the same one breathing
we are
in windwaters
come
por favor disculpe el idioma del violador
pero somos en amerigo ya no
orillas montanas llanos montanas orillas islas
en los dos mares
polo a polo
caminando reposando filtrando sonando
el mismo respirando
estamos
en aguasviento
venido

oak tree at sunrise
(baltimore, surrounding the port of baltimore, strove to welcome in 2018. rip kevin zeese.)

sandstorms

desert ocean moraine bowl mound dune
sand blows in out
moving waiting on
silicon oxygen oxygen nail hair bone
collagen aorta
swirling minerals exploding volcanoes
always digging
never bury

public health office space at sunrise
(the johns hopkins hospital resumed including gender-affirmation surgery in services offered to transgender patients in 2017)

murder on greenmount (treasure box of rocks)

this is a dirge for some one loved others unloved
you were old and broken necked washing in with the surf
you were a middleaged son on the street bleeding out
you were hustling then flying skullfirst into a banquet corridor floor
you were the fearful trigger child
you or ford or chevy drove the pickup truck
there was some other thing
you pickedup a whole fucking lot

greenmount on sunrise

(tyrone servance jr was murdered on greenmount avenue just south of thirty first street in 2016)

virtual address at sunrise
(the city paper started becoming the beat in 2017)

sleight of glock

someone wrapped a gloved hand around his ungloved hand and weapon
gloved hands all round
like someone locking inside locks from outside
who would have seen is no one
someone hold his bleeding head in your lap
wipe their blood off a ceramic floor
some one every one
here the last chunk of dried blood on our fingers
refuse to war
refuse
war

toward bennett place at sunrise
(found evidence supports a theory sean suiter committed suicide in bennett place in 2017—the war machine that caged him reacted in an angry thuggish swarm of human rights violations, teeming lost in the smog of a lost war)

drinking mean well (summary by yoda)

inventing our selves community
numberable parts animal
numberable machine
numberable pieces growing green
onlysomany atomic
(fusion fission inevitable it seems)

tent city and tubman city at sunrise
(tent city and tubman city shared their struggle in the center of the city in 2017, demanding freedom to live in community on our planet with space to invent and share a reasonable portion of what the sun provides, rather than being completely subjected to what others invent—the city continues to bulldoze such communities)

medi c/t ate

many times great god mother
walking calmly toward center
in a maze assembled over one thousand years
gathering oxygen to core
winds around
gathering oxygen to core
works out
gathering oxygen to core
switches forever

center of wellness at sunrise
(erricka bridgeford prompted every one to be mindful of the violence in and around them, organizing a ceasefire that started in 2017 and continues)
