my every-day is chasing the erotic
it’s been said this moment is without intimacy,
the physical realm-tradition can not attest to others
others Blackness, Black skin does not limit
realm-traditions.technologies.emotion.mind.spirit.
which Blackness, Black skin retrieves
wor(l)ding found in the sharing of joy; rather than utilizing, extracting for joy
enveloping the deepest closeness found, to this day
that “dividing” realms and culture try to restrain, to this day, but never ours!
that is, our collectivized downloads, dreams, being; sharing
their age—elder imaginations with our inner childs, inter-generating. going,
fetching epiphanies/happy stemming back
with/in caring self-touch, closing
grounding and rooting, blood memories
carrying veneration, sankofic-holding
in technologies still unfound in the “dividing” realm relations
this has been a chase, every-day revelation.
