To celebrate @poetsorg’s #NationalPoetryMonth, we're collaborating with poets inspired by “Implicit Tensions: Mapplethorpe Now.” #MapplethorpeMondays
Rob Halpern, Poet:

Mapplethorpe’s model looks like my dead friend Gene
Aka Portia Manson creator of Hippy Dick a DIY zine
For granola-fags and also FILM @ 11 a low-tech
VHS fairy-porn production outfit that gratified
A pre-internet niche market whose patrons came
From the readers of zines like Hippy Dick all chic
Drag queen sex acts for the revolution w/ titles
Like Thank Gay I’m God and Mercury Rising an homage
To Anger they both screened in SF one nite back in 1990
At the Dream Center on Fillmore featuring a live
Improvised soundtrack performed by The Temple
Whores after which Portia and I slept together his
Touch was painfully tender but I was inexperienced
And lacked the requisite body hair to inspire his
Lust having already left my own hippy days
Behind I had shaved my head & beard in a ritual
Of molting tho I had yet to coincide with my punk
Desire I just cldn’t open myself to Portia’s erotic rituals & the mysteries of queer ecstasy before he withdrew
While dying of HIV-related meningitis in 1993.

[BIHAKUEN]UVシールド(UVShield)

michele.colburnartist A contemporary “Venus” evoking Botticelli sans extras. The poem so personal yet capturing the in between of those times. I lost friends in the first wave of AIDS in NYC. It was heartbreaking and terrifying.

kytlocke I feel like an old geezer, but there is nothing about this that warrants it seeing the light of day, unless that light is shining on Halpern’s diary.

itsjudithlopez @goodmanwonder jajajaja this is your lost brother jajajajjaajajajajajajaja

mcdebida None of his pedophile or puppy torture shots I hope. He was truly sick.
