A section of Jarvis Rockwell's Us installation at Mass MoCA 2023 Rebel Scum Inspired by Us by Jarvis Rockwell We, a parade of two, the day I escorted you to A New Hope , and The usher gifted you with Luke Skywalker. We could navigate Tatooine Just fine - your tiny hand In mine. You grew to amuse Yourself for hours; as I wrote you Lined up Legolas and Leia; orchestrated Battles between Orcs and Elves, Sith Lords and Rebel Scum. Toys lined up on your bedroom Carpet. Solitar

Untitled Inspired by Kelli Ray Adam’s Forever in Your Debt We all pay for tenderness; Listen over morning bowls Of Rice Krispies popping And the AM radio static. Your coffee pot a spectator Brewing all day long as You dodge upstairs to write A sermon or to read A poem. I am forever in your debt. Those Saturday nights marking the Clickety-clack pace of your typewriter As it quickened and slowed. Scent Of purple ink whirling from your Mimeograph machine. Remember how you’d rea

More Muppet rock painting. Animal!!!

Murder History So much of what makes it Into living history is death. Battles fought to keep Patriarchy secure. Men And their toxic selves - Seething. Burning houses. Raping girls, Boys sometimes, too, I Suppose. Red runs in the Stolen rivers and They congratulate themselves - In their importance; Draw lines on maps to Distinguish our Worthiness. Make Plans and decide what The future will know.

WUYWABF Nature can be cruel - so, Of course, they decided She is a woman to devour Us, abandoned here By your benevolent god. The little skunk convulses In the yard. What damage Became him? Cursed by Nature, so no one dares To stoop down and sooth His trembling soul. Tiny paws claw at empty Air; he writhes, twists, Tries to escape the pain. We, helpless due to scent And fear, watch and betray. Hoping The number for Animal Control to be the salve To lift us all from Her feroc

"Hey, Bert." "Yes, Ernie?" "We totally rock!" "Oh, brother..."

Mosh Pit Sol LeWitt - Negative Pyramid - Mass MoCA We are a structure At Lollapalooza - The way you grab My arm and yank Me through, bestie, Beastie Boys, metallic beats, and certain injury. My skinny legs dredge Doc Martens and strive To keep up with you; Your vintage leather jacket, cries to “Fucking move” part the crowd and You rescue me In a way I could never rescue You. Reach out my hand To yank you out of that orange Grove.

Lap Sizzle up on the sand. Land with such monotony - Lulled into bliss. This Is what it is Supposed to be like. Her poem, about love, the One I read this morning, is The most real. Not a war, she offers. But a journey; and though Passports fade and expire, With the correct Simmer the ocean Expands and contracts and Is all it was ever Meant to be.

Sweetums! I was worried I wouldn't be able to make him recognizable, but I think this painted rock for our Muppet-themed party captured his giant personality! 😁

Miss Piggy! Another painted rock for this September's Muppet-themed party.

Kermit! The first of many painted rocks in preparation for our Muppet-themed party this fall.

Poet Mother Narratives leak from pencils. (The speaker is not always the poet.) Remember, you can hide Many truths behind Just one lie.

Sink Lured forward for years, thorax Exposed, neck displayed. Take what you want. Let My blood. Leeches crawl Across my chest. It is Always this way in the still Part of the river. Calm breeds. Then the storm comes, all Will disrupt and swim, Caught in currents beyond Imagine. Where you are Is not as safe as you feel. Danger always lurks - the Naked man with the butcher Knife, hidden in the bushes. He sees Your breasts with no armor Beyond a shelled bikini Top and your neck

Semaphore June 1, 2025 Every parade this month A scream, a dance, a pyre. Rainbows and leather. Queens And quotations. Short shorts And oppression. Do not Saunter backward. No Matter how the effect Chills us. Keep Waving our arms. Keep Signaling to our neighbors. The flags of our Queer Alphabet; Poles colorful and black. Disco dirge and laws On our bodies; in our beds. Pink triangles. Red pills. Rainbow oceans of roads.
