Poetry and Music - The Infinite - December 5th

This month, Suddenly is happy to welcome regulars, newcomers and special guest DJ Zenway! Looking forward to seeing everyone there. Bring and friend and be well on your journey.

Last month, Ayo wrote a touching piece inspired by Suddenly. Her friend Elvia came to visit from the I.E. with big ass books of poetry including phenomenal tribute poems to latin american writers. Dia sang to us decked out in a very stylish floor length zebra print coat. Hustle Diva gave us some food for thought. Armease Scoggins, reluctant to the mic, stirred it up with lines about about cake, men folk and bedazzlement.

There was also an agreement to create Suddenly, the chapbook and cd. Works to be featured will include:

Mr. Mosquito
Dancing left and right
Drilling into me

My flesh now itchy
Aloe vera shall treat me nicely
It might be kind to let you live

And forgive
For what?
For now
I am itchy

I roar with the best of the lioness in sound (2x)
And we roar like sweet belly music
Hungry for life, yes we use it
Always lessin we lose it
To the silent void

Hush

Hush
Your mind
Your soul
Your heart, you're ready you know
You can feel it
Breath slow (2x)
Now go

Slowly into your season
Step up
Step out
Step in...to the reason

You've been working hard and long
You've been running long and strong
No more dreamin on and on
You're on
