OH MY GOD!? this was brilliant, wow. the stream of consciousness style of writing, the science, the gayness of it all….just fantastic if you have 30 minutes today, read this!!
Natalie Diaz is great and I want to read everything she has ever written. This was really beautiful (and very short!) - you can read it here, but make sure to take note of page numbers as you may have to skip around a bit to get the poems in order!
i swear to god there is no other poetry like this! "Haven’t they moved like rivers—like Glory, like light—over the seven days of your body?And wasn’t that good?Them at your hips—isn’t this what God felt when he pressed togetherthe first Beloved: Everything.Fever. Vapor. Atman. Pulsus. Finally,a sin worth hurting for. Finally, a sweet, aYou are mine........Haven’t they riveted your wrists, haven’t theyhad you at your knees?And when these hands touched your throat,showed you how to take the apple
this is one of the best pieces of poetry i've ever read.... the allegories to mythology, natural science, art, and etymology are so elegantly pieced together.... i wish i had read this earlier
“Her pen becomes her hand—: / the way I become beneath her hand.”
'When my hand opens beneath the surface of the river, who can say thirst doesn’t live in the bowl of my palm...'This was absolutely beautiful, a quick read and has some spectacular references to mythology, science and the like. It's quite easy to digest which is my favourite part of the chaplets.
SO beautifulreally short but you could spend hours reading it
I wish I had enjoyed it more."What are the hands, but godspulsing with red sugar?""Physics says we can never truly touch anything—the electrons in ourhands repel the electrons in the object we think we are touching.Touch—: the brain’s interpretation of the repulsion taking place betweenour body’s electrons and the object’s electromagnetic field.The feeling of touch is just our luck."
