The imagination is not only holy, it is precise it is not only fierce, it is practical
men die everyday for the lack of it, it is vast and elegant

DREAM POEM ABOUT REAGAN & CO
when we are dirt poor
and no longer have our mountains for shelter 
when we are conquered
and cannot go to our forests for comfort when we are hungry
and our valleys will no longer sustain us then we will see these men in their true light

REVOLUTIONARY LETTER #46
By #DianediPrima

And as you learn the magic, learn to believe it
Don't be "surprised" when it works, you undercut your power.

"Hatırla, hayatını avuçlarında tuttuğunu
Bu anma günü, hatırla
Neyi sevdiğini
Ne yaptığını bekleme
Hatırla yaşamın nasıl darağacı İlmeklerine geçirildiğini."

intellectus means “light of the mind”
it is not discourse it is not even language
the inner sun

the polis is constellated around the sun
the fire is central

RANT
By #DianeDiPrima

You cannot write a single line w/out a cosmology
a cosmogony
laid out, before all eyes

there is no part of yourself you can separate out
saying, this is memory, this is sensation
this is the work I care about, this is how I
make a living

Today we read from Diane Di Prima's Revolutionary Letters.

We remember the stakes really are ourselves. We remember that we are endless, always one, never separate.

Get going, join hands, see to business.

Sweetheart
when you break thru
you’ll find
a poet here
not quite what one would choose.

I won’t promise
you’ll never go hungry
or that you won’t be sad
on this gutted
breaking
globe

but I can show you
baby
enough to love
to break your heart
forever
