Occupy is calling for a general strike on May 1st. I’d like to see a greater understanding of the gender disparities when we discuss economic injustice. That desire led to this piece. This is rough but has been fun to work on thusfa...

Tarot cards and crystal balls. Symbols on the labyrinth walls. Goddess and god; the dance of the heart. Who can be whole, while they’re torn apart. Who will you choose. To become, to embrace. Which path will you walk. Which demons can you face. Take what you dream in your darkest secret breath. Live in the Wild. Dance beneath the rest. The choices that you make. The world that you create. Tarot cards and crystal balls. Symbols on the labyrinth walls. Goddess and god; the dance of the heart. But the canva...

As frustrated and meetinged-out as many of us were, we held a “locals” meeting after the other meeting we’d attended.

Except when I won’t. You spread me like a butterfly. Held down, pinned. Pressing soft relentless circles. As I push against your name.
