We Boho Coco austinnewbloggers are holding a poetry reading Oct. 23rd at 12th Street Books at 7:30pm (as you already know we're celebrating issue#2 of our print zine)/(you're invited too!)...Anyway, we got more submissions to the zine than space available in about 20 pages so to show our appreciation I will be curating a week and a half worth of new writers here on the blog. All of these writers submitted good work to the zine and as a thank you I want to give their words a chance to be read. Writing (art in general) is important. The first "special guest" is Farhana Uddin. Feast!
Miyako-Doori
Carrying my box
of goodies
in the hangers
of my brown arms
to my motel room
above the green
street I swear
I crossed the path
of two sumo-san
strolling down
miyako-doori
I was all whoah-man
in my head
--they carried me
as I was less than air.
above the bun on my hair,
I held up my box
as it was a trophy
of a decapitated man.

Awesome to see other voices clamorring to be heard through the blog. Jeff: lovely picture; you look ravishing. Farhana: I like the vernacular of the poem; nice blend of slang and strong imagery.
