drink life
… on each other’s chest


’ on this day
when there’s no holiness
in all this madness of tests
where the heart is
with the sharpest brass knife
let us carve a tiny star
on each other’s chest
watch them light up
bright red
we will bless them with our lips
drink life
neither a seven-year itch
nor death
can split ‘

ps:
‘saint’s work is motivated by the conviction that the personal is the political; as the author himself wrote in ‘spells of a voodoo doll’: ‘[o]ur writings should very much be a public process that reflects private passions.’ his poetry starts from private and personal passions to confront the aids crisis openly, thus conceiving poetic composition as an act of survival that breaks the silence surrounding people with aids even as it also disturbingly documents the physical and psychological ravages of the disease.’ [from glbtq]
