hiii. how are you doing? no, really? 🌚 🌝 because over here at PTK we’ve been in a bit of a time-warp. mercury retrograde time-space bends. searching for portals and escapes. working on some poetry pyramid schemes behind the scenes, while Larissa rocked the grand opening of her solo-show at Soma Galeria and Kelly shot off into some new stratospheres over at Poetry_As_Location this past week.

Now, if that wasn’t enough, a word (and poem!) from our first squatter…

Wilhelmina’s first PTK Piece!

So my first contribution as your Resident Poet comes with a delay - but as per one of my favourite quotes that I may or may not have used as a pick up line: “Space makes it possible that objects leave their places. Time makes it necessary that the places leave their objects". - Niklas Luhmann - and is dedicated to all the wannabe Space Daddies. 🚀 🛰️ . And Erica Dawn Lyle.

Stop hitting on me I am really shy 😊

cookies with powdered sugar on their craters

sit in my palm like moons

more moon sits over the roof of the wedding barn

waxing

.

almost everyone here is pregnant 

and the bride cries as her bridesmaids

tell her: you deserve this

the fire alarm goes off on the first floor

.

set off by nothing

as odorless love between friends floods

a day reserved for romantic love

and declarations of dependance 

.

and i can’t get over the fact that elon tweeted at AOC

stop hitting on me I am really shy 😊 

the oldest trick in the book of men

to shame softness for the soft

.

of course i still love you

but we won’t participate 

in your apocalypse

in your wet escape phantasies

.

just read the instructions

we are our own daddies

we are the union 

we are the bride and the groom

.

Make sure to come back next week to see how Kelly & Larissa respond to this space bb of a poem! Over & out ✌🏻🪐
