You can still see the lifeforce rippling across those muscles like lightning, like he’s lowkey fulla flames, like his sinewy spirit is ricocheting against the inside of his flesh just to tempt me , like his frame is coated in licked pop rocks right under his skin😁…like his undercoat is nothing but fn brimsone…
A foundations of heaven motherfucker, demanding all of me honors my divine, this angel’s happily twisted, head-shooting perfectin’ ptsd- expressing terra firma, the earthy loam that got my wild woman ass back here acting all reserved solely due to god-given images of rolling around on it, in it because we’re both of it,
Orion reborn, redescended to the surface to make me remember all the way who I am by watching him fall like a violent cascade of stars…pulling me back down my damned self on his heels, both of us coated in the cosmic dust Zeus sent both of us to go simmah down in after apollo’s punkassed apocalyptic “accident”…
felt this motherfucker land when I was marauding deep in the pits of hell the blink of an eye almost 30 years ago often is to love… made me climb out wielding weapons to see the documentary footage my damned self, commandeering Camaros, snipers shoving my ass in front of found footage of that lithe sauntering sonofabitch’s back so I’d selfsoothe instead of shooting my way outta school-
there’s not one of you whose throat would be safe if you got in my face on my way to the source of me that motherfucker was born and bathed in to draw me in my own time. He knows i’d dementedly kill you all, just to remind him of good ole days hunting in woods that need no retread because this time, this here is for now, and that then has no need to mend…
he knows that my mitochondria are a mess smelling him milling around me and it makes me let go of all pasts. That is why he called me to this place, knowing that I am able to be free here. That is why he leaves me be. It has been a long time since I was all the way me. The inebriation is not even of spirit, it’s roving energies awake on earth again…
That motherfucking back. Until this day. Forevermore.
I’ll kill you all…but him,
–A R t E M i S, at the mic.
