it’s been a minute. life has been busy so i had to press pause on posting about and promoting my poetry for awhile. i have been writing though. there’s so much to write about since “redacted” came out in april. in july, i turned 30. i celebrated the big 3-0 with friends in chicago. we went to a really rad discothèque. i’m talking light up floors, mirror balls & just good vibes all around. here’s a poem i wrote to capture it.
we go to the disco
to let go,
to overthrow
the everyday
mundane
monotony of
mediocrity.
we go to the disco
to sway hips,
to kiss lips,
our bodies gay
movin’ & groovin’ to
freeform light borne
of a mother mirror ball.
we go to the disco
to celebrate,
to eradicate
the worries of the day.
to turn the beat around
& be surround by
profound hedonism.
