A lady I greatly admire once flirted with me by saying how hot it would be to be held like a cello. I blushed and had one of those instant lip sweats.
I thought of a great poem to write for the people the other day but family chaos ensued and now I’ve forgotten it entirely.
worked on this for a couple months with @harmanity.bsky.social and @viktoriavalenzuela.bsky.social and rly proud how it came out...people sent some amazing art & writing.
Is anybody writing space poems? Aliens? Stars? Outer Space poems?

"There is no water here to bathe," he told Telemundo 51, adding it's been four days since he showered.
Detention center lights are always on, 24/7, he said, and the mosquitoes are "the size of elephants."
He said they are not allowed to go outside, and the tents are freezing.

This post brought me to tears!
A middle aged Chicano couple with the night sky behind them. His arm wrapped around her, his hand on her chest. She has a slanted smirk and red lipstick on. Her hair is a wild curly burst of salt and pepper gray. She is wearing a black and red shirt and oversized black cat eye glasses. He is bald and arching his eyebrow in a comedic fashion. His beard and mustache are also salt and pepper gray. He is wearing a black long sleeve sweatshirt.
TODAY IN VIKTOPIA (ChicanoLoveIsForever): My Sexy Hero Poet and I had our date-nite-at-home. I am so blessed that he has been my rock— as always. I never have to worry. He braided his beard into my hair, we are wired in for all that comes next. Resistance is our love & growing old together.
From today on, I am in mourning for my Tia Fran.
In case ya didn’t know, my husband is the Chicano poet, Vincent Cooper.

In case you needed a poem to read during these troubled times. I wrote this one last time around:
Just don’t leave. Tell him no. Remember Judith Heumann!

Friends…. I’m here.
Friends, I need the press to be free and open and transparent! Come on.
Yesterday, I went to visit the famous Chicano artist, Jacinto Guevara, at his home. Despite appearances, he was happy to see me.
