Excerpt of poems

Nothing in common with history. 
In-between. 
Measured by proximity. 
New-fashioned. 
A body made of time.
Loud and Louder.  
Staring right past. 
In your own time. 
In your own space. 
Transgressed by privilege she sees. 
Up. 
Down. 
She smiles at the struggle. 
Mobilizing form. 
Color. 
Against darkness.
Patchworks. 
Pathways. 
Alleys. 
Desire at her side.
Eyes reflect. 
Machines.
The gloom of war. 
Intangible temporalities.
Traces left behind to follow. 
Alongside.
Disbalanced.
Always-to-be.

Collecting.
She.
Selecting.
We. 
A promise.
Culture, she said. 
Enthusiastic pride. 
Fine-boned determination. 
A vision still unknown. 
A nation. 
Denoting a narrow circle of belief.  
Present. 
Absent. 
Scratching the surface from below.  
Collective weaves. 
Contexts count out inclusions. 
Proud spaces.
Leaking uncertainty. 
The rupture of being. 
Unaccounted. 
Undermined. 
Distinguished from remote pasts.
Ascending.
Fetish believes.
An Eagle witness.
A free woman.
Both feet on the ground.
Over and again.
Turn on. 
I listen.

Measured by proximity.
Habits of prejudice.
Creativity in-between.
Aesthetic renewal.
Un-listened. 
Contextual loitering.
The rupture of being.
Seeking refuge.
Waiting for the walls to echo.
Doubt. 
Doubtful. 
Bodies inside. 
Outside, looking in. 
Addressability.
Money and laughter.
Transcribed. 
Unconscious breath.
Knots untied.
Adaptive survival.
Waves of oblivion.
An inexhaustible passion.
Queuing a line.
Incoherence feels violence. 
Repeated.       
Revolution.
Sand between my fingers. 
To fill my fist.
Accounted discomfort.
Reactionary clutching.
Apart from survival.
Escaped History.
Alongside.
Scratch.
Labor and love.
Wrapped in passionate darkness.
Travel on slender threats.
Why tremble.
