Letter from Diane di Prima to Audre Lorde.
"It is from this deepest night
nadir of forgetfuness
sweet well of empty sleep
that the Child is born
no dreams
bring him to birth:
pain like a shower of meteors
we roll thru
in the intensest blue-black of our sky
& the golden one emerges
ludens
from the depths of the well
&
we sigh, for music
& seek to devour
to incorporate light, that gold
shine thru our flesh
(blue night for golden stars)
our black skies flower forever
that we forget no more."

revolutionary letter #27 - diane di prima
text:
How much
can we afford to lose, before we win, can we
cut hair, or give up drugs, take
jobs, join Minute Men, marry, wear their clothes,
play bingo, what
can we stomach, how soon
does it leave its mark, can we
living straight in a straight part of town still see
our people, can we live
if we don't see our people? 'It is better
to lose & win, than win & be
defeated' sd Gertrude Stein, which wd you
choose?

Revolutionary Letter #12
the vortex of creation is the vortex of destruction
the vortex of artistic creation is the vortex of self destruction
the vortex of political creation is the vortex of flesh destruction
flesh is in the fire, it curls and terribly warps
fat is in the fire, it drips and sizzling sings
bones are in the fire
they crack tellingly in
subtle hieroglyphs of oracle
charcoal signed
the smell of your burning hair
for every revolutionary must at last will his own destruction
rooted as he is in the past he sets out to destroy
