Radical Rest(1)
To feel the warmth.
We must learn to pause.
friction chafes
Until we stop
To dull applaud
What’s the cause?
Not enough of this.
Full hearts,
Kind eyes,
Inquisitive minds,
And the
Smells of Good medicine.
Of dried orange slices
& Cinnamon.
To make room enough
for acceptance.
The symbol of
Radical Rest & Resistance.
Sugar cookies spun from clouds,
& sewn into the shape of hearts.
Offerings to
The patron saint of Crafty hands,
Max the menace.
Mulled wine & Buckfast Cans.
The basic Tenets.
Another ritual to
Make enough space in your stomach
to trust your gut.
Reminders that it’s okay that we aren’t okay.
Tonight we Craft away the cold.
Guided by the Celtic stars of good miscellany,
Religiously tearing pages from the good book.
The mission glows amidst the rainy
Streets, sloping towards a bench.
The very bench
That dreams of California.
Of a son
Lost at sea,
In the sorrows of our imagination.
Sitting at attention
Is the old man and his saber.
Sheathed into the bench.
In loving memory,
He plays his
7 songs
on repeat.
Forever and ever
And ever.
- T.K , (2025) , Chapter 1, verse 1 of the book of Radical Rest
Resistance
To 2026,
The peace we seek?
We live and breathe.
The will to fight,
Do what we need.
Strike the match,
We must watch and Feed,
Our Flames.
Let’s set ablaze
the Bad toupee with
Trumpets blaring,
Small dick rapist,
Temper flaring,
December wears no clothes.
Melt down ice,
And Tear down tyrants,
Protect the meek.
Not the Pigs with Sirens,
Epstein’s files
We’re still inquiring
burn it to the ground.
