Gagarin

From “græ: Part 1,” out now. https://mosessumney.ffm.to/grae

Gagarin

[intro, in a bar: my life, to something, something bigger, than me]

I wish I could dedicate my life
My life to something bigger
Something bigger than me
The earth ever spins on its axis
I'm spinning in echopraxis
My life does not belong to me

I gave my life
To something
Something bigger
Than me

The galaxy's a broken mirror
Slowly the asteroid gets nearer
My strife does not belong to me

For that big blue bold

Emily Dickinson - Wild nights - Wild nights! (269)

Wild nights - Wild nights!
Were I with thee
Wild nights should be
Our luxury!

Futile - the winds -
To a Heart in port -
Done with the Compass -
Done with the Chart!

Rowing in Eden -
Ah - the Sea!
Might I but moor - tonight -
In thee!

Gender Stories

Early 18th-century Italian opera companies often cast female voices in male roles, and sometimes castratos took female roles according to the vicissitudes of local circumstances. For example, during some periods female performers were forbidden on stage in Rome, but throughout the rest of Europe good female singers were the preferred option for leading male characters if no suitable castrato was available. Beyond that, there are plenty of Baroque operas in which characters disguise...

Laura Stevens:

Over the course of one year I invited over fifty men to my home to be photographed naked.Most were strangers, and it would be the first time we met. Stripping my bed to a white sheet,my most intimate space became a site for the man to be at his most intimate. An area with defined boundaries to move within, into which I would look, and he would be looked at.

Walt Whitman - Whoever You Are Holding Me Now in Hand

Whoever you are holding me now in hand,
Without one thing all will be useless,
I give you fair warning before you attempt me further,
I am not what you supposed, but far different.

Who is he that would become my follower?
Who would sign himself a candidate for my affections?

The way is suspicious, the result uncertain, perhaps destructive,
You would have to give up all else, I alone would expect to be your sole and exclusive standard,
Your novitiate would even then be long and exhausting,
The whole...
