Please check out Ms. AWashington’s academic paper, which has real world import and includes vital action steps. The difference between performative allyship and true allyship is highlighted with distinguishing qualities and helpful examples. Important, engaging, inspiring!

I respect Kevin Powell @poetkevinpowell.bsky.social
his evolution as a poet | writer. I am compelled to reflect.

medium.com/@Ms.AWashing...

An intimate portrayal experience; response—connected to his “call of action” in his editorial piece in Newsweek. I hope, to give his words credence.

The #dirt doesn’t ask permission.
It takes what #gloom offers—
makes a #mess of boundaries
—spits up bones; secrets
in equal parts measure. 🔽

that’s a favorite of mine.

“Love Myself”
I read this poem
when I need to
remind myself how
I love; and to give
agape #love to
myself; as I have others.

Love comes in many styles
Deep from the wilds of heart
With desires dark and beholden
To whispers spoken as art
Unbroken flourishes of promise
Become acknowledged by soul
With painted mixtures of emotions
To shape the pictures we hold…

#Perhaps we sleep
And share a dream
With no true means
To awaken…
And each soul faces
Inception sown placements
To hone our growth
And expand imaginations
Perhaps…
This is all a dream
That is all too real
To be believe…

Exsanguination

Press #skeletal mouth
against grey; hollow of thighs
I feel the draining—
this marriage of shadows haunt.
Stale pulse, becomes new flesh.

Poppet

Each pin pressing through
leather mojo; soaked
spirits calling—
you feel it miles away
this sympathetic aching
pulling you back to
Succubus hands.

Possession

Who rides you when we
tangle in the small hours?
Whose voice is #respite
in your throat? —
The loa mount us both
grinding spirit into
sweating demonic flesh.
