Gratitude to the Jerome Foundation, David Sheingold, Jen Shyu, and Sara Serpa. The music here supports the current visions of Keith LaMar, Jalil Muntaqim, Susan Burton, and all those who have hope for a world beyond incarceration.

-

our bodies float in the jelly surrounding universe #99 // goo invades our belly buttons / crawls between our toes / cushions our elbows //
[placenta]
breath is spared here / escapes in unnameable places //
[stomata]
inviting / turning / immersing / the sap of what we yearned //
[magenta]
for the time being, we nurse on flames of silver feathers.
