April 8-9.

My skin

has become

a trend

a battlefield

a war front

each pore

a bomb crater

a bullet wound

a warring cry

in the longest war

for human-ness.

*

Every struggle has to have

her or his own language,

adjectives of freedom

nouns and pseudonyms

of beauty

new words new liberation networks

that link us to the best

utopias and disasters of the past that created

victories and revolutions

our own lives our own suffering

our own labors

our own words

to make us free forever...
