A poem about the Tomahawk Missile 🪶🚀
From my solo performance for @culturehub_org@lamamaetc@relativeartsnyc Re-Fest 2025! Voice, barril with contact mic, SP404
Full set in bio!
“the tomahawk missile is pointed at the Native.
it was pointed at a Warrior of the Earth before
the missile had stolen that Warrior’s name.
Death at its tip, the tomahawk missile wants you
to forget your Tongue and Kin, and give in to the abyss
of the cross, the screen, the resort, the dream.
the tomahawk missile was pointed at Osage
Avenue between S 62nd and S 63rd a century
after it was pointed at the Osage Nation. Move!
the tomahawk missile will leave poison in the Earth
that will force you to relinquish the Seeds of your Ancestors
and buy up whatever monsanto wants you to mass produce.
the tomahawk missile is pointed at [ ]
it is pointed by murderers I cannot call out
by name for fear of losing my livelihood.
and you know where it is pointed.
Everywhere there are People that come from the Land.
Everywhere there are People that Dance in ways the missile can’t understand.
Everywhere People get in the way of the profit of a small, small few.
Everywhere People are fed up.
the tomahawk missile is pointed at Me, and it is pointed at You.”

👰🏽♀️ LA TIRANA ~ THE TYRANT 👹
10 octubre 2025 ~ @lola.machine & i performing in 'Habitar las Fábulas' by @simbolica.cia.danza at @loisaidainc.center 🇵🇷🌀🌠 gracias @simbolicadanza@cossta_leona por la oportunidad ~ MI GENTE LATINA 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
~ based off of a foto called 'Lagoon', 'Habitar las Fábulas' tells our stories of patriarchy, migration, ancestry, community, self-love & death as fems from Latin America/the Diáspora.
in just one week, and one day of running it only 3 times, lola and i developed the story of La Tirana. coquís, our ancestra La Lupe, los tambores, reading 'Calling All Grandmothers' from Alice Walker's 'Hard Times Require Furious Dancing'. this works-in-progress piece breaks the generational curse of traditional / patriarchal marriage that once controlled our ancestral goddesses. the only way to freedom was death.
bendiciones from our heartbeat, guaguanco 🇵🇷🔥🇨🇺, the spirit of Candela breaks free. LA GRAN TIRANA!
dedicated to my grammy & her madre, mi bisabuela. ♥️⛰️♥️⛰️♥️
