Supplanter’s Sonnet
before the Lion’s Gate Portal

blue light in the mirror, the moon, and you
let gloom gleam like rot heath mired into
blues prosody mimics usurper dew
clit klitschnass drips snot, sheath gyred in two
axonemes, porphine moths’s teeth sunk into

the sea between us, luminous light, spumes
smithereens, slurred ovaltine sunken through
oceans, endorphins those lizard entombs
opium tongue stunned on starless night blooms

bruise blue, conjuring typhoon and monsoon
swallows we two as infinite night looms
consuming flame blue licks at honeyed moon
in gloom—we wend through—blood moon—doom—I see—
we bloom—vivisected—hope scorn’d—y’all’ll see—

Refusing work is environmental justice
Refusing work is environmental justice
Refusing work is environmental justice
Refusing work is environmental justice
Refusing work is environmental justice
Refusing work is environmental justice
Refusing work is environmental justice
Refusing work is environmental justice
Refusing work is environmental justice
Refusing work is environmental justice
Refusing work is environmental justice
Refusing work is environmental justice
Refusing work is environmental justice
Refusing work is environmental justice

Whitey’s on the moon like Gil and Sun said.
Whitey’s on the moon like Gil and Sun said.
Whitey’s on the moon like Gil and Sun said.
Whitey’s on the moon like Gil and Sun said.
Whitey’s on the moon like Gil and Sun said.

Whitey’s on the moon like Gil and Sun said.
Whitey’s on the moon like Gil and Sun said.

Whitey’s on the moon like Gil and Sun said.
Whitey’s on the moon like Gil and Sun said.
Whitey’s on the moon like Gil and Sun said.
Whitey’s on the moon like Gil and Sun said.
Whitey’s on the moon like Gil and Sun said.

Whitey’s on the moon like Gil and Sun said.
Whitey’s on the moon like Gil and Sun said.
