―Creative Writhing‖ what happened to your eitches? They are all right here, GBS . . . for I will pause to remember how hackneyed all labels be and how faithful was Marshall McLuhan exhorting us that we love our labels as ourselves; . . . and will also give thanks for Roland Barthes‘ line that writhing does not now have nor ever had a direct object (écrire, verbe intransitif); For I will excoriate institutions for pushing writhing on all those in their keep; For one way to numb the elderly is to teach them Summer writhing believing it does them good, as it does prison inmates who were taught by the now canonized sibs of John Cheever and Norman Mailer; For one way to coddle Undergrabs—no reference to Singe Singe or Attica—is to help them with antics and heavy, heaving writhing; For media-crazed Undergrabs love texting and also extend their writhing to their testes; For department easy chairs, arm chairs and rolling chairs love the label because, come evaluation time, deans will cite the excellent ―character building‖ of curses based on hep- epistemologies; For Undergrab parents and pastors are suckers for mystification: the children‘s perennial social studies trivia, history trivia, and bible trivia now prove to be worthy of note; For Grabs, or formerly Undergrabs, being notorious fiends for punishment, will naturally seek the lower ground of the skull cracking, demanding courses on ―travel writhing,‖ ―journal writhing‖ and ―writhing for cooking;‖ For, two years in the heaving, heavy tomes of frothy theses will be deposited in triplicate with the librarians and the registrars to commemorate the on campus writhing; For sacred history reveals that in the beginning was St. Montaigne‘s je me façonne moi mesme; Which screed begat Robert Bly‘s ―Meeting with the Blessed Paul Engle;‖ Who intercedes, all in one ―Breathless‖ Poe-sque ―X-ed Paragrab‖ for such writhers as Robert Lowell, John Berryman, Phil Levine, W. D. Snodgrass, William Carlos Williams, Allen Tate and Jean Stafford; Other writhers having interceded, in the meantime, for still other writhers in such ghastly numbers as to cause heaven and earth to be filled with their worlitzer prize glory; For on early circuses believers were crucified, burned alive and fed to wild animals, whereas now the moveable circus of master writhers is lionized for setting up nurseries (nurturies, they would have called them) for the autistically creative, i. e., irresponsible folk eternally ―intervening‖ in our always already indelibly soiled lits et rattures.

΢ηέιηνο Υαξαιακπφπνπινο

I was fourteen years old the first time I read Langston Hughes‘ poem, ―Dream Deferred.‖ I was captivated by the way he was able to put so much meaning into his work, with such honest, simple imagery. I credit him, along with the other writers I would soon discover—Paul Laurence Dunbar, Alice Walker, and Nikki Giovanni, to name a few, with igniting my journey to becoming a poet. In college, I discovered the work of Saul Williams, and was mesmerized by not only his words and delivery, but by my instant sense of kinship. His work was my first peek into the key-hole of a world that was to become mine. Over the years, writing has been a therapeutic tool for me, and a healing narrative of my lived experience. I have had the opportunity to consciously participate in my own personal growth process as an artist, and as a woman of color, through the unfolding continuum of my free verse poetry and hip hop, jazz, and soul inspired music. Writing begins as solitary work, but it‘s the impact it has once it hits the outside air that speaks volumes. My goal is to capture and seamlessly blend universally human themes with the vulnerability unique to my personal experiences. All of my goals are ultimately to use my life to contribute; to be a vessel and a vehicle for progression by empowering others to find their own voices.

What will happen in the end? What will my heart to my mind send? I wonder, if my past experiences will emerge And the names from the past reveal in revenge What will happen? If others react in the same way It may be as if we are all engaged in a play. All we, could take part in a competition And let the best scenario to win. There could also be poets too Fighting in the contest as you. And the theme of us all will be unfulfilled loves. A long catalogue will include those ones Who were given ―no‖ as an answer, To their genuine proposal for a romance at once. Does that answer imply that they are reserved? Or that they may like another man, instead? I don‘t know, do you?

Oh Star Light! Beautiful star show your light! Under the black sky of the deep night! The loved baby is born. But do not mourn, do not even cry! He is the chosen, who shall be sacrificed, to save all! But three kings and three shepherds have seen your secret light. And now they are here through this cold, black, winter night.

΢νθία Αρηύπε _________________________________________________________________________________ NOBODY

Why are you staring at me? Your eyes like ponds ready to flow. And you still Wonder, wonder, wonder. Why you still Wander, wander, wander? Your mind intruding mine. Your eyes cutting me sharply. My hands are bleeding. The drops are touching The soft, bare ground. Who are you, Lady? I wonder, wonder, wonder!

JUMBLE

Inhaling smoky air Steel, stark and filthy. Twenty years over them! Feels like a lurid destiny approaches, suffocates, vanishes them.

Thousands of stories filled with black Black and red. Same color, same symbol. Same End? Unanswered!

Where were they? Bloody crawling figures sponged the drops of Hell. More and more stamps on their bodies. Stamps of torture Or Atonement.

Eclipse, Whisper, Silence, Dark. And there He is, A stone, heavy just like a throne. He broke the Vow He noticed her A proper Heir. He sees her face She is not a fake. His lips are sealed He falls asleep.

IMMIGRANT ANONYMOUS I‘ve travelled through angry seas and lands that were inhuman The desert sand hid my tracks from spears and gunpowder In search for a chance, a chance in life My sole companions were my children‘s kiss and my wife‘s cry. I reached Valhalla at the dawn of the ninth day More spears and gunpowder were blocking the way Asking for gold to let me by And let me through with a pat on the back and a wink of the eye. Some people greeted me with flowers, others just with spite And others wearing suits told me it was all going to be all right A strange feeling rose and made me wonder all night If this is Valhalla why does it feel like I will once again have to put up a fight? Amongst unfriendly faces my days go by Through spears and gunpowder each day and night And when I dream, it‘s the same dream again My children‘s kiss and my wife‘s cry.

GRANNY WAITING

Holding a knife you cut the bread How many slices you wish you knew How many of your children are going to join you tonight One, two, all seven or none Your hope is still burning They all said they‘d try Your face is still lit up It‘s not late, it‘s not early The bell might ring any time And you keep waiting God how much you missed them all In a minute or two They must be here In a minute or two You‘ll be holding their hands, kissing their heads, A sound out of nowhere A disturbing sound, not that of the door It rings in an awful manner But you remain still The knife well into your flesh, And you remain still.

THERE

We are nearly there To the narcissistic lands of hope With corals and streams to eat and drink And we‘ve already made a list And we kept that roster Of the dreamers And the deniers All the figures of hope That pessimistic hope The hope that can easily destroy And can be the salt in our wounds Once again We carried the message Miles and miles away And seven seas left seven wrecks behind And mermaids to rustle how to leave Our absence to betray But we‘ve forgotten to capture Those who expected to survive And tried to stand alone Learn how the world is awake Stay beneath! Keep your head off! Not to be seen The snake must revive The dream to remake To fix the order To rise the flag to a land That none expected to be Strange color isn‘t it The color of nowhere We are nearly there Almost there

THE SHIPS

Ships have sailed. Ships have sailed full of people or empty. Ships have sailed for Peaceful Places or Dark Forests. Ships have sailed full of laughs or tears. Ships have sailed and will never return. Ships are blue, or red, or grey. Ships are in the blue, or red, or grey sea. Ships have sailed greeting cheerfully. Ships have sailed for war. Ships are drops in the ocean. Ships with no governor. Ships forgotten by God. Our ship has sailed, too. Our ship sailed last night for nowhere.

An empty room, full of abstract objects All in their positions, without any essence of human presence. A bed, a chair, a table All seem like speaking, like talking to each other.

There is life in the room, even though there is nobody there. The owner has left it for a while, but he will soon be there.

IN THE MEAT MARKET

Not being likely to commit, Slimy fish that spawn And from the head reek I, write off my list. Eyes on the cleaver & eye hooked on the meat, my tummy rumbles syncopated beat. I crave carpaccio rare not steak bovine & after Exotic tenderloin I pine For pineapple dresses its smile wry. Italian speck, ragout minced & for the eccentrics Horse‘s stick-pendulato cheer with pig‘s ear the pending quest I never feared. Meatballs I could do without I never cared that much for round. With game birds I‘ve had a beef my sister‘s nauseas vouch for itshe picked a fowl cockatoo that crowing only cock-and-bull its comb she plucked & made a stew; Besides, chew fat, rabbit & pork my intellectual meat lies thereon, Though fed up with pork pies And hare in shallots makes me cry! Ancient recipe recites ―the steamy kind reaches the sky‖: Lamb we‘ve shorn out of its fleece, its tawny locks I reminisce. Rump cap steak to the world, to the savvy Picanha was my first love. Warned me of its aftertaste «garlic cleaves your blood for days» But I being an easy meat The Sirloin could not resist. 82

M. pretty pickle you‘re in!‖ Stretcher shudders! I am shocked to scene Stretcher crooner, lulls me back to theme: 2a.m santero wine, 3a.m red star prying— 3.05 mattress squirms, 3.08 coiled sheets writhe, 4a.m folded in two, bathroom robe you won‘t do; 4.15 Frog poised on murky tiles, tap deluge ―seek and ye shall find‖, though livers coming out of me, clogged the drain instead. 5a.m will this end?

Walked up the stairs of my house, hands stretched forward Walked into the room. Mama was there sitting silently, Mama! Mama! Mama where are you? Mama please I need help! I made a clumsy move, Tripped over the water jar, And fell into the water. Water, I was touching with my hands. Water, I was feeling in my eyes. Stop! I said to myself And breathed. Opened my ears and all my senses widely and listened. And I saw! Yes, I heard the cricket next to me And with one single move I grabbed it. I heard where the kettle was boiling now. Started crawling, Calm and sure, And, oh boy, I touched a knee I held my head high as if I could see, Her, and said I can hear you too mama! Since then, I have a sharp memory. Since then, I wear hard soled shoes to hear the echo they make. Since then, black glasses are one with my skin. Since then, I sing with all my heart and soul like I want the moon to hear me. Since then, I get paid in single dollars so I don‘t get cheated. Since then, I am mixing r‘n‘b with gospel. Since then, I am doing my thing in the world of music. Since then, my friend I have been NO CRIPPLE.

My beautiful Lady* A gift from God How could I resist To a body of Gold. Fresh and clean Your long hair aroused me What a figure! – so slim Don‘t regret being seen. Your private nature Made my urges Erotic and sexual Come to the edges. I‘m not a spy I‘m full of respect I shouldn‘t be prisoner To the blindness effect.

* (From the myth Lady Godiva. Inspired by the character of Peeping Tom.)

I sinned many years ago, I took the fire, from Prometheus And he paid for this, with bonds. I ate from the forbidden fruit, the knowledge... But I paid more than the usual. Isn't enough? Justice is coming, together with Nemesis Holding the new Ex-caliber. I am the iron generation Hesiod. Is it my fault? Should Mythos become Thymos¹?A new Babel? I was deceived by an other Titan, more powerful∙ But, let me keep the fire in my heart; Let me consider my visitor better than my brother And I'm ready to find my own Caucasus. I'm not afraid, I am still listening to Homer: Odysseia, Ousia des.²

Fact or fiction? The war is imminent No more festivals, feasts, and fifes Only felonies and feuds. Fidelity because of fear Frustration because of forlorn hope Fellows suffer from their flaws And the foes fixed in our flesh as fleas. But, finally Their failure will be our feat Our flag will flood them like a flow. We will fly away, without our fetters And only faith will be our fare for fidelity

LA GRANDE JATTE

Under the blazing mid-afternoon summer sky The Seine flooded with sunshine Faces devoured by the implacable sunlight A rust colored butterfly hovers the sky The Dantesque old grandmother is standing aside Holding her Parisian parasol upside Boats are moving up and down People are sitting lazily on the ground Mysterious transcendence is all around.

TRAPPED IN HIS GIFT

A kingdom unguided goes A ruler drown in French wine No matter what changes he brings He always sacrifices his will For a gift considered Divine!

141

A FATAL MUSE!*

Your glorious head reappears surrounded by slippery snakes Your twisted mind that poisons whatever humanity makes Once a utopian beauty Gods praised your name Now cursed in a monstrous form On iron shield, echoes your fame The man who boasts for your death Takes a mortal mask for reality, Afraid, lest stone he becomes Only stares in a mirrorâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s duality But, what scares people to death is a creature well kept in the mist Their inner hideous self through your eyes, they see that exist.

*The poem refers to the Greek myth of Medusa

What makes them happy? Whatever flies. But why? They take the lives from flies and mosquitoes Whatever flies. But these fives do mind. They are listening to flies or to mosquitoes crying. Their population is different. Have feelings and eyes. The do know. That whatever flies May be food But it is not good. Just because it has mood. Just like everyone. Just like frogs.

Divided as I feel in-between love and hate I‘ll try to touch the stony face of my lover. I‘ll learn the way to cut the strings of fate For the conventions I will no longer bother. I‘ll paint with colors the high walls of my cave In search of truth, I‘ll follow my own Plato. And if he‘s fragile but still tries to be brave He‘ll be the man who fought against NATO*.

MOURNING BIRTHDAY

Staring at a voiceless ceiling Empty while searching for feeling, Trying to count the seconds, My patience breaks all records. ―What‘s up?‖ my mother keeps asking, ―Nobody is crying for nothing‖ ―His heart won‘t last for much long‖ My reply seemed to be wrong. A phone call that robbed all the silence We‘re letdown even by science. He‘s dead and I‘m trying to find, A way to protect my mind. A cake, some candles, a wish, My heart trembles like a fish. A date I‘ll doubly remember, My birthday‘s your own loss for ever.

You had taught us to follow our heart Not society‘s rules My heart was beating fast When you asked me what I had been dreaming of Your beauty seduced my soul Passion guided our bodies It was not a boy‘s fantasy fulfilled Pretty Lady you made me a man.

΢ηέιηνο Υξήζηνο ΢αββίνπ _________________________________________________________________________________ MY GUN

I'm walking down the streets of the vast cities with my little friend. He is silent, cold, but he protects me. I take care of him. Everything seems so hazardous in this hostile environment. Everything is ruined by the so-called modern criminals. But my lonely soul traipses every night without fear; my friend is strong, faithful, he is the so-called gun.

DEPRESSION: YEAR 1929-1938

The woman in the kitchen Her daily routine Prepares some food for dinner Drinking some caffeine The television on, all night On Shrove Monday, a paper A form of art, a kite Giving its place to a maker To write for a mite His gift is diamonds Witness for the aftertime A lot of people and their bonds Will suffer in a while War is coming closer The soldiers ready to invade Roosevelt becomes a chaser The year thirty eight.

171

LOOK

Look at the troop Ready to shoot The new air force WR Ready to fly My plan for invasion Will take place in a while And you talk about other invasions Are you crazy?* The world is waiting My blood‘s boiling for expansion Your blood‘s boiling for pleasure Are you crazy? I don‘t care about your women I don‘t care about medicines My cure is the world domination Look at these ladies laying Ready to destroy everything

* Hitler talking to a general who suggests to bring some ladies for pleasure before the beginning of the 2nd World War (imaginary scene).

Γηάλλεο ΢ακαξηδόπνπινο _________________________________________________________________________________ A PERFECT DAY

I noticed the dew on lilies leaves I noticed the roses all over my skin I noticed water drops with rainbows inside I noticed teardrops with sorrow inside I noticed the sun clothed by the clouds I noticed the crowd gathering round I noticed their eyes, their breaths and their mouths. I tried to see, but I couldn‘t I noticed the air celestially scented I noticed the wood exquisitely polished I noticed the walls, a pure purple I noticed the room, a pure temple I noticed the smoke, the warmth and the light I noticed my flesh burning inside. I wanted to pain, but I couldn‘t I noticed my ashes drifting among clouds I noticed my friends spreading out

And then I let go of it coffee cups, vacuum cleaners, dirty dishes, tattered curtains, kitchen tables, gas ovens And it was Perfect

173

M. Μad may call me, but I'm not doors wide open, but I leave not imprisoned in desolation, but a cage not –Unique– the road not taken I did take full of fear did I stand frozen faces, can't get through. My home –Unique– endless spirals, eternal maze a continuum of space. The cosmos –Unique– the Taurus, the man, the one my savior will be. A plight –Unique– my horns Theseus are unique

174

M.J.A America I‘ve given you all and now I‘m nothing Your blonde lotus, a Hollywood opus Your diamonds-spangled banner. ―Thank for all the things you‘ve done the battles that you‘ve done The way you deal with U.S steel and problems by the ton‖ We thank you so much His happy birthday, my happy ending beautiful facade is all he asked, America, is this all we are? Andy Warhol, where thou art? dark pit of despair, dark pills on my bed Something‘s Got to Give, this is all I am JFK I‘ve given you my all and now I‘m nothing

175

A RETURN TO PARIS So I returned here to see the light again, To my sacred town divided in two by the eternal Seine with Tour Eiffel. To the small room in Montmartre, And the piano in night, breaking each note the laughter of the crowd crossing through Boulevard de Clichy. I don‘t need to write about it, I need to live it. je dois sentir la joie et la tristesse, la beauté et la lumière quelque chose que j‘avais oublié ou quelque chose qui m‘a manqué toujours. La vie. I will embrace the places, the crowd, the metro, the sounds, strolling around, peace in their beauty. The hunchback passes by with his inner lament, as I walk by the île de la Cité, he reminds me of the bateaux mouches de la Seine tourists disembarking as their voyage ends. Can't find a relief. To stay? To leave? You will forget me anyway

Δπζαιία ΢ηέθα _________________________________________________________________________________ SUPPOSED HAPPINESS

Having nothing to do for today, I decided to go for a walk, To observe the world while outside is still day, The world as witnessed from a five-year-old. Yes, it was still morning, But the sun I could not find. All I saw was black and grey And then I wondered: Have I gone blind? Everybody rushing to make it to work. Same clothes, same cars, even same face and thought. They remind me of my parents, who are adults but don‘t know That all I wanted was just time. Expensive clothes and toys? No! So, in a world that has no time for me, I picked a little shadowy corner that no one could see And there I sat but secretly I cried, Because realization they say cannot be felt by a child.

He wasn‘t a clown. Look at his head, he was wearing a crown. Not as a king, but as the most talented in the acting thing. So simple, so plain, nothing in him reminds you the rain. Only the sun, the glorious sun that plays with the clouds for fun. He said; laugh as much as you can He said; laugh as there is no tomorrow He said; laugh as it is the only reason for existing He said; laugh, enjoy, be happy Oh my good fellowmen, he said, smile with no fear, no doubt, no shy cause you have me now as an alibi. Smile, smile, smile

POETRY

At the blossom of his life, when he caught up a line: â&#x20AC;&#x2022;Hold infinity in the palm of your handâ&#x20AC;&#x2013; he read. His sight became foreign, his home transformed into an unexpected beauty of serenity. The only friend to tell him to think, was there, into his hands staring at him. Looking down again he noticed a devastating reflection. The reflection of himself.

Ξαλζή Σνπξνύηζηθα _________________________________________________________________________________ 10- PAGES

I just look as being touched I offer pleasure, escape, breathe as being used or misused A time away from your all is my chance to shine unsuccessfully mistaken most of the times. Existence of enclosure and enclosing heavy or light, colored or blackened read or not knowledge provider to illiterate eyes of education Only tiny little tears of larger water touch me violently moldy pieces of my priceless lifetime. And I wither, I cease my being conforming to the news dumping my silent contribution.

187

DEMONOLOGY OF OUR SENSES

How sparkling to demonstrate me through your wonderful eyes and your cosmic neck Lining over to book my trust trembling eyelashes on you viewing the overwhelming. It is just because I care too much to show too much for you to wonder Fingertips and toes having written the same echoing story The one that presents our odor and projects it onto us. This strange mysteriousness This great mystification The only reason why I lick the words tonight.

A CRY FOR HESTIA

Long forgotten and released as if one has not met her strangely enough sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s outcast from within the first one needed as a pole, Fire burning, wisdom transferring. Had you been more careful things would not have fallen apart. Struggling to preserve the loss to fill in whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s missing drifts away into the night when the straight light of my eyes betrayed her and the senses of my truth erased her

All I know, is that sadness Does not have a home here, Where life prevails, Where sun is hidden.

The road full of them The sky full of them At night all blues blend Making what we all intend

WHY I AM NOT A PAINTER I am not a painter, I am a poet. Why? I think I would rather be a painter, but I am not. Well, for instance, Mike Goldberg is starting a painting. I drop in. "Sit down and have a drink" he says. I drink; we drink. I look up. "You have SARDINES in it." "Yes, it needed something there." "Oh." I go and the days go by and I drop in again. The painting is going on, and I go, and the days go by. I drop in. The painting is finished. "Where's SARDINES?" All that's left is just letters, "It was too much," Mike says. But me? One day I am thinking of a color: orange. I write a line about orange. Pretty soon it is a whole page of words, not lines. Then another page. There should be so much more, not of orange, of words, of how terrible orange is and life. Days go by. It is even in prose, I am a real poet. My poem is finished and I haven't mentioned orange yet. It's twelve poems, I call it ORANGES. And one day in a gallery I see Mike's painting, called SARDINES. (1971)
