Transactional Flesh

Transactional Flesh

I will kneel—

not for prayer,

but for worship of flesh.

I will kneel—

my hips, my mouth, my hands,

all instruments, all tools, all currency.

I will offer—

my body, my temple, my flesh,

to the hungry, the desperate, the engorged.

I will offer—

my lips, my sweat, my ache,

all for warmth, all for sanctuary,

all for survival.

I will swallow—

their pride, their hunger, their release.

I will swallow—

their engorged desire rising like fire,

their ecstasy pounding through me,

my flesh a ledger, my body a market.

I will bend—

I will writhe—

I will open, I will press, I will give.

I will bend—

every gasp, every slick shiver, every cry

transaction for the continued flame of my being.

Flesh for a door,

flesh for a bed,

flesh for fire,

flesh for life.

I will endure—

I will burn—

I will rise.

I will endure—

I will burn—

I will rise, defiant, unbowed, unbroken.

Use me. Abuse me.

Take my body raw—

my soul will spit on shame.

Use me. Abuse me.

Rip my flesh,

but my fire remains untouchable,

my spirit untamed.

I am ledger.

I am temple.

I am market.

I am coin.

I am flesh for the world,

I am spirit for myself.

I will kneel—

not for prayer,

but for worship of flesh.

I will kneel—

my body a tool,

my body a weapon,

my body survival itself.

I will swallow—

their pride, their hunger, their orgasm,

all for the ecstasy of their release,

all for the security of my being,

all for the covenant of survival.

Flesh for a door,

flesh for warmth,

flesh for fire,

flesh for life.

I will endure—

I will burn—

I will rise.

I will endure—

I will burn—

I will rise, defiant, unbowed, untamed.

The market of flesh is mine.

The ledger of body is mine.

Every kiss, every shiver, every gasp—

currency.

Every curve, every tremor, every ache—

my coin, my tool, my survival.

I will kneel—

not for prayer,

but for worship of flesh.

I will kneel—

and the fire of my soul still burns,

untouched, unbroken, roaring, alive.

The Moth Emerges from the Nigredo

The Moth Emerges from the Nigredo In the beginning, there was the breaking— not the clean snap of a twig, but the slow, mineral erosion of stone under water that lies, under hands that reshape your gravity until north becomes south and your own heartbeat sounds foreign. They scattered you. Sparagmos. Limbs of perception torn by Titans wearing familiar faces, your thumos whipped into a frenzy while they called your chaos madness, your survival sickness. You were told to become butterfly— to fold your trauma into bright wings, to sip quickly at the surface, to dazzle and die in the same season, to forgive the frost that clipped you and call it spring. But you descended instead. Katabasis. Into the humus, the black earth, where Persephone keeps her winter, where the pupa does not dream of flight but of becoming— a gestation longer than anyone’s patience, a silence mistaken for death. Years in the chrysalis of ash. Nigredo. You did not glitter. Y...

The Touch That Changed Me

The Touch That Changed Me We had been building toward it in messages that burned quietly— long threads of thought, laughter carried through glass, confessions typed in the blue light of longing. Desire grew not loud, but steady— a tide pulling at the ribs, an ache for proximity, for breath shared in the same air. And then there we were— walking the trails, the earth soft beneath our steps, the wind cool and honest. We sat beneath a patient tree, two men pretending calm. You touched my knee. Not by accident. Not unsure. You held it. Gripped it. Looked at me. And something ancient inside me melted. The armor I did not know I wore ran like thawing ice. Pain loosened its grip. The hard edges softened. We acted, as if nothing monumental had happened— as if the universe had not just tilted. The wind grew colder. You shivered. We walked back, hands brushing— a quiet electricity in every almost-touch. Close enough to feel heat without claiming ...

Glory of the Cosmos

Glory of the Cosmos An Epic to the Immortal Gods Before the first horizon opened its burning eye, Before dawn learned how to rise from the dark, Before wind found its wandering voice— The Immortals stood. Not one throne alone in the silence— But many. Storm-crowned. Sea-veiled. Sun-robed. Moon-browed. Flame-bearing. Harvest-holding. Sword-bright and mercy-deep. From their splendor the stars took fire. From their laughter the rivers ran. From their will the mountains rose And bent in shining reverence. Glory to the Immortals— Radiant Powers of earth and sky! Thrones of lightning and woven fate, Hands that shape both seed and storm. Golden the Mothers who kindle hearth and heart. Fierce the Guardians who stand at the gates of shadow. Wise the Keepers of hidden paths and silver thought. Joyful the Givers of wine, of harvest, of love’s uprising. Without their light we would fade like ash in wind. Without their breath we would drift without song. But uph...
