double images. i tempt beirut - she wears me and i wear her. that coastal dream. handmade montage as toy theater. time easing out. that day your smell will cling to me like wine. dying in black and white we fight for what we love, not are. andalus caribé bilad al-sham new york. never reveal how far the body would go. the glory i wear in your shameful name. odes, cities, bodies. touch as thought. pájaros, sarasas, ápios, floras (también ese). my homeland is this spark, this lightning in the darkness of the time that remains.

with words by frank o'hara, adonis, solomon ibn gabirol, yehuda halevi, federico garcía lorca, and samuel r. delany
