Watch "Mix - Heroin by David Wojnarowicz" on YouTube

I found out about David through Olivia Laing's book The Lonely City.

This guy was abandoned by his mother and suffered absolutely horrific physical and sexual abuse at the hands of his father.

He finally ran away as a teenager becoming a male prostitute in order to have food to eat and a place to sleep. Later in life he became a well-known artist and was one of the foremost spokesmen on AIDS before he succumbed to the disease.

I looked at these videos on YouTube only to find that they had very few views. I want to change that I want more people to know him.

What a Stud.

In his autobiography, he talks about how he swears a lot and it always throws people off.

Reasons to miss him more.

She read to me some poetry,

she sang my blues away.

Why can’t I find that someone...

[cassavetes13]

I came to you intact and whole

full of air and endless possibilities.

I stirred up a smile that emblazoned

your face like a spark sent from Satan

on a mission to engulf a bone dry field in

the middle of a West Texas drought.

How I envied that skin of yours

as I can only dream of that type of

closeness.

I was intoxicated by your magnificent beauty.

But one by one

you poke and pop, crumple up and let down.

not my photo just my blue

This just hit on a level that I thought I no longer was capable of accessing. Fuck.

Mr. Wylie. Wherever you may be... Thanks.

What’s A Person?

if I’m not what is good enough

 for what I want 

how does one change

 into the blazing sun?

if we can’t get 

from right here to right there 

our worries are worthless

what joy is there but now?

while my toes crunch sand

the glass that never quite made it

echoes

shining through my hands

lost for words and breathing just barely

soothing ourselves

what’s a person

what’s a man?

march on

now

kid get strong

this day won’t quit you now 

don’t get lost in being lost

step up

child

stay up and on

there’s nothing greater

than what your heart will cost

clutching pearls

running veins

crossing paths

with ourselves

garnered wisdom and strength

every last failure helped

losing my own idea of who I thought I was

while I find who I am in this chaos this storm

always searching for another new answer

to the eternal questions that keep us going
