Nicolas V. Sanchez – Cuentos Compartidos, oil on linen, 2014.

I will not dance to your war drum. I will not lend my soul nor my bones to your war drum. I will not dance to your beating. I know that beat. It is lifeless. I know intimately that skin you are hitting. It was alive once hunted stolen stretched. I will not dance to your drummed up war. I will not pop spin beak for you. I will not hate for you or even hate you. I will not kill for you. Especially I will not die for you. I will not mourn the dead with murder nor suicide. I will not side with you nor dance to bombs because everyone else is dancing. Everyone can be wrong. Life is a right not collateral or casual. I will not forget where I come from. I will craft my own drum. Gather my beloved near and our chanting will be dancing. Our humming will be drumming. I will not be played. I will not lend my name nor my rhythm to your beat. I will dance and resist and dance and persist and dance. This heartbeat is louder than death. Your war drum ain’t louder than this breath.

What I Will, Suheir Hammad (via manifesting-souls)

I don’t think I’ll be able to finish those songs. Maybe, who knows? And maybe I’ll get a second wind, I don’t know. But I don’t dare attach myself to a spiritual strategy. I don’t dare do that. I’ve got some work to do. Take care of business. I am ready to die. I hope it’s not too uncomfortable. That’s about it for me.

Leonard Cohen passed away November 10, 2016. I hope it was not uncomfortable. Vale.

This actually makes me tremble. I seem to be trembling a lot these days.

Palau, July 1978

#a time of beauty #[comma] [space space space space]#and vulnerability.

The day has come when I—twenty-six years of age—can look at my phone and find an email with a photo attached that shows me lying on the ground in my own vomit.

#rejoice!#don't do drugs etc.#also why the FUCK would you take a picture of that?#other than for inclusion in my memoir in which case—guess what—it would still be a shitty idea
