Desire of the moon upon tides; a ballad on yearning
Ceramics. Glaze.
35”x22”x26”
2024
a body of work / a skin sparkling sensation / desire made permanence
a vitrification of our existence and experiences in spite of the attempts of erasure and oppression
a touch when it is received with validation, when it is given with language outside of WANT
How badly I want to write you a poem that is as soft and slow / and made anew as transition / as a sword fern unfurling to dew drops / as tongues unfurling into mouths
How badly I want to grasp the joy and expansive vast expression that is DANCING among QUEERS / that is finding knives of hipbones sharpening themselves upon hipbones / that is all hands -tangled in hair, firm upon breathless necks- / hands lost to the endless oceans of denim and leather and lace
