If you don’t get it you don’t get it

If you don’t get it
you don’t get it
get it together
get it done
get it in
get it ready
get it fixed
get it stolen
broken
get it gurl!!!!
get it right
get it alone
get it massaged
get it away
get it over with
get it revoked
overturned
overdone
Just get it.
Annulled
appraised
get it quick
get it fast
get it all
get it on
get engaged
more than tanning up
my ring finger
my mind
on you
wait
with you
your words slow
the world down
and I take you
into my mind invite
you to come in
take a seat
we sit
on the floor
the way you sometimes
do when you consume.
I tune into you like a kid
caught up in the excitement
on the tube.
You-tube
tell me your story on loop.

Get engaged in our love
lets play dirty
in the mud, with the worms
digging weeds
long slim stems
the tree shedding its star shaped
flowers onto the dried leaves
sounds like a stream behind us
put the heavy stuff behind us
we see it like
we see a 16 wheeler next
to us as we flow with LA traffic
my legs pumping heart flowing
no slip ups please.

Nuestra historia
de amor como nunca
hubo otro igual
para mi
es para mi
tu amor que me
embarras como
mermelada
tan solo la palabra
te hace sonreir
pero cuando el sabor
te llega a tu lengua
Merrr-me-la-da
you’ll see
If you don’t get it
you don’t get it.

Frida Kahlo Poem Dedicated to Diego Rivera

(Translation by Claudia Rodriguez) In saliva on the paper in the eclipse. In all the lines in all the colors in all the jars in my chest outside, inside in the inkwell in the difficulties in writing in the wonderment of my eyes in the last moons of the sun (the sun doesn’t have any moons) in everything To say in everything is imbecile and magnificent. Diego in my urine- Diego in my mouth- in my heart, in my madness, in my dream, in the blotting paper- in the tip of the pen, in the pencils- in the landscapes- in the food- in metal- in my imagination. In my sickness- in the ruptures- in his lapels—in his eyes-in his mouth-in his lie. Kahlo, Frida. in “Frida el pincel de la angustia. Zamora, Martha. La Herradura, Mexico. 1987.

BLM Owes Me Nothing!

(R.I.P Vanessa Guillen) 1. I think that when you organize a social justice event; participate in a rally or a cause it’s because something about that issue moved you very deeply. You were drawn in even though the energy doesn’t completely mirror your experiences. It’s is still magical, transformative and impacting to fight for your beliefs and your values, to see so many people fight against injustices fills me with hope for humanity. I feel human again, am reminded that I am part of the human race. I’m embarrassed to say it, but I feel heroic, the way they always stand on the side of what’s right. 2. I never approach a social justice cause conditionally, do you? Is your political support conditional? Do you go..? Have you gone to a BLM rally and told yourself “alright I’m here, but these bitches better show up when my community puts on a rally!” Do you sign a petition advocating for LBGT rights and think “ok, but when my ass is getting discriminated against, y’all p

Married 05.25.2019 Ours is a good love a classic love settled, secure, durable like big brown sexy pillars of the gay community. Pillars that many wish they could twirl around- like some carefree stripper we   know you want this! We are a lusty kind of love. Loving ourselves is loving our community archiving its beauty in the poetry we speak and in the portraits we create. Line by line recording the shades and shadows in the lives of our brown gente magagandang tao. Because loving our community is loving ourselves. Our love is promising like the trunks that are your arms malakas promising comfort, security and love when they wrap around me. Our love is endless, like the many barriers, the challenges big and small that have threatened the world we ’ ve   built together...and we look back shine our big, bright beautiful smiles at all that we ’ ve overcome and feel comforted in knowing that our love is bui
