I’ll be posting excerpts from #AnInfectedSunset leading up to its release. This piece comes in the section of the book where the poems are liberated from the chapbook structure #LiberatedPoem and follows a section speaking about being born into the concept of war.To say #FUCKICE or #StopSeparatingFamilies is somehow not enough when I have the comfort and ability to walk to a coffee shop and watch white children thriving in white neighborhoods with signs that say “drive like your children live here”.It’s a fucked up world right now and they know brown children are magic creatures who hold the strength and wisdom to fuck up this white daddy empire. We must not let them win.PROTECT ALL BROWN CHILDREN. BLESS THEM AND GIVE THEM SAFETY AND SHOWER THEM WITH SUPPORT. THEY ARE THE FUTURE AND THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL AND INTELLIGENT BEYOND BELIEF! THEY WILL GUIDE US INTO A DECOLONIAL AND SOVEREIGN WORLD!~~~~~~~·~~~~~~~·~~~~~~~·~~~~~~~AN INFECTED SUNSET is an ekphrastic, long-form descriptive prose poem that is a reflection on queer sex, survival and death politics, indigenous identity, settler romanticism, environmental injustice, and the importance of honoring community.@heterogeneoushomosexual -- source link
