Welcome. My name is Jeremiah John, sf/f author & activist.I tell liberationist stories.. . . More About Me
I slunk
noiselessly
candy on my breath
past a weeping violin.
I tore out my smile
and rolled it like a cigarette
smoldering gently.
He began to smoke
and my guilt subsided
the smoke caught in his wrinkles
and my nakedness chattered.
I think I love the night
with its wolfish yellow eyes
the burn of anti-sleep
pacing at my window
smelling the rain
the pointed teeth of exuberant melancholy
catching your throat
as it hops away
like a frog.
I just completed a dystopian science fiction novel. I run a website which I created that connects farms with churches, mosques, and synagogues to buy fresh vegetables directly and distribute them on a sliding scale to those in need.
In 2003, I spent six months in prison for civil disobedience while working to close the School of the Americas, converting to Christianity, as one does, while I was in the clink.
