DisTrACtIoNs


The unsettling feeling, that tremendous distress.
The darkness of the night seems appealing to my innner self,
my heart is clenched with my own disappointment,
bittersweet loneliness.
The flickering amber lights welcome my wounded soul,
the beat of the universe beckons me towards escape.
I exhale a cold, grey, bitter cloud,
as the sour cascade treks through my veins,
warming, healing my self inflicted wounds.

Sweet distraction, blissful getaway,
on the edge, I swing and sway,
mind disconnects; Not a single care in the world,
as the pain, the guilt, those mortifying thoughts are gone.
Feeling starts within my body,
the lights become a little more intense-
Is that a huge tomato talking?
An overwhelming, euphoric sensation...
Forever in this sweet dream, lunatic imagination.

Querer, pero no poder.

No siempre “Querer es poder”, No siempre se hace lo que se quiere hacer. No siempre se tiene lo que se quiere tener. No siempre se siente lo que se quiere sentir. En ese maldito dilema, Querer quedarme. queriendo irme Sintiéndome culpable, Sintiéndome como un pendejo, Por aun sentir lo que siento. Quiero no sentir eso, pero no puedo. Quiero sentir eso, volver a eso, pero no puedo. Me lo prohíben. Me lo prohíbo. Estoy perdido. No se que putas hacer.

Half Human, Half Universe...

There is a universe within her, That no one ever dares to probe; With such deep misty corners, That consume you with her wanderlust. The shooting stars prowling inside her, Reflect her infinite hopes; That with her bold ambition, Persues without fall. She is mad and she is fire. Her soul burns with deep desires. She wants everything and settles for nothing; With her intense passion for exotic places and minds. A glitch within human specie she is; She scares people because she is whole all by herself, And with her blissful insanity, She has the power to conquer the world.

Personal Response to "Woman at point zero" by, El Saadawi

“ Slavery ”, “ humiliating ”, “ abusing ”, “ filthy ”, “ degrading ”, “ easy way out” . All these stigmas are used when describing a prostitute, yet it is all this that grants Firdaus utter freedom. This novel uncovers the naked truth of what it means to be a woman in an egyptian patriarchal society in the early 1980’s. In the world that Firdaus knows, women exist to serve men, women belong to men, women reside in the power of the hands of men. Female humans are objects, possessions, slaves and pleasure machines; in Firdaus society “all women are prostitutes of one kind or another” . She accepts the crude reality of what women are; arguing that “men force women to sell their bodies at a price, and that the lowest paid body is that of a wife”  Wives are maltreated prostitutes who trade their sexual service for regular subsistence, housing and support of their offspring. Prostitutes are autonomous prostitutes who trade their sexual service for freedom. In the end however, Firdaus co...
