If you’re in RI, Worcester MA, or central CT during the month of June, you’ve got some opportunities to see The Duende Project in performance.
Check out the “Show Schedules” tab on the top of the page, or head directly over to our Reverbnation site.
Energy stored
in a chest
is nothing at first sight,
practically invisible.
Then we call the chest
a “battery.”
It becomes
worthy,
we seek connection.
We are batteries
in series
channeling the energy
held in our chests.
We charge the night.
I wish I was a rocket
opening the next frontier.
Wish I was oil
conquering the ocean.
If I were to become a microchip
I’d be inserted under perfect skin
and ride there tracking the travels
of flawlessness.
Wish I had
superpowers — how could I not
considering the way they’re drawn?
Maybe I could take on
the anima of a tiger
and slink my power
through forests seeking
to change lives.
Longing to have some effect
leads me away from wanting to be
human.
If I could talk to animals
would they tell me
they wanted to be me?
If I could be a rocket
or a computer, if I could
ride the waves as oil,
would I feel my being?
I desire technology
or shamanism
for myself, want to erase
the big old man I am
who can’t make anything happen.
Would I still care
that things were changing
around me and because of me
then?
