Venus was at Occupy.
Another vagabond hoping.
Word from Wall Street.

Venus/ Felix
Punched by a cop.
Evicted by the city.
Squatting.
Evicted by the city.
Squatting.
You everywhere.
At Trans rallies.
With lots of glitter.
At Trans rallies.
With lots of glitter.
I saw you at Faerie camp.
I saw you at the AIDS demo in DC.
I saw you in the pops.
At VOCAL.
Or political funerals.
Venus walked over to say hello.
Getting a coffee.
Trans lives matter.
Everyone deserves a home.
Everyone deserves a home.
Trying to find a space in the city.
Sensitive to others' pain.
Occupy Wall Street a spiritual calling.

Often betrayed.
Forgotten.
Leaving for a while.
Coming back.
Leaving again.
Off to Tennessee.
We missed saying goodbye.
You felt betrayed.
Off you left.
And then
Back to the city.
Squatting back and forth,
through the shelter system.
Fragile body,
suffering in the cold.
food scarcity issues,
chemical issues we were all going through.
wasn't one to broadcast what was really going on,
Why don't we look for the living among the dead?
He is not here; he has risen!

In the streets.
Creative direct actions.
Dreaming
Dreaming
Dreaming
of a different world.
You are still everywhere.
You are still everywhere.

Yonina Dahlia Benjamin Heim Shepard where do i begin... Having a Pagan eostara ritual at the Alice in Wonderland fountain in central park, being the only 2 protesters to crash Fashion Week in 2011 with our eyes covered in red streaks and glitter, celebrating 13 full moons together as one of my initiations to the Craft, him showing up at my house with a bag full of healthy treats from Whole Foods once every 2 weeks or so just because, him calling me every day while I was in hospital too zonked out to even recognize who it was, the first time he introduced me to the love of his life Matthew McQueen..... he was always reminding me to stay light hearted and always smiling and loving everyone even through hiding his own pain & suffering. One of the best friends a babywitch could ask for, and a brother/mentor/advisor/playmate til the end. I think of Felix every single day and I have a lot of his old things, like a hoodie a wrap up in whenever I need a big Pan hug. He was so beyond this world. We were all blessed to have him here while we did.
