Saintos
a canto fr The Music Rooms
`3am in the farthest corner, anxiety fogs the eyes above a skyline of city lights, signs, & satellites- ~~from Wishing for Wings by Assotto Saint
Assotto Sanctus
earthly
fabulous
Haitian Émigré
Yves’ warrior glitter lives
heathened
Glamored enamored
unenslaved
dancing
orphaned
sainted
down as the saints of
2nd Ave
gayboy dance tribe street
Blackglamagloriana revealed
light&shade&light
as night falls on sacred scars
and scarred incants
of our warriors
that must be witnessed
but not outlived
Yves sainto maria
sacred sainto
no night falls
liberated by
Assotto Saint
Once Yves Lubin, sainto
all gods Assainto
& the spells of voodoo dolls
unleashed to
our radiant warriors
Storm the gates
burn the motherfuckers down
Saintos gay
Liberators
Libertines
To exorcise
Sexual auteur
Sainto who prowled
To write in the earth
The perfect moment
luminous
in negative light
Dance in the circle of fire
bury scarred ritual
for future sainti
Kneeling with him
in ravaged
Silhouettes,
hooded eyes of Mercury
unfeared of Mars
signaling the rings of Saturn
shooting mercury
down to the clubs
Assotto Yves
Lubin lived
voodoo spells
saintosaintosainto
Was with him when
His lover died
no one else but our brethren
& he was with all the gods
When he was dying himself
Sainto
spinning voodoo doll
bound to himself
Prisms that no one
else could see
fabulous bled those crusaders
the hypocrisies
The brutalities
the unclean hypocrites
Sainto clung to
red roses
ran ashore screaming
“Seagods
I am alive goddammit
Simply, violently,
endlessly alive
as I was screaming for my Mother
All Sainto nights
Spiritus Sanctu baby”
All Sainto nights
Sainto my Maria &
my darling
So blessed upon my
disappeared body
sainted rainbow
So cast out to sea
Cantos in memoriam of writer-actor-poet Assotto Saint
