How Divine
{An Umbrella Special Feature}


Zachary Jean Chartkoff

is currently working with the graphic artist Diane T. Sands in creating a book of illustrated sonnets, done in tiny “graphic novels”; it is his hope one day to be able to hear Pablo Neruda’s “Cien sonetos de amor” remixed into into something he can dance to.

He lives with his wife in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Amun and the Cosmos

We must live. Live far beyond this abyss
that calls but refuses all desire
and hope with its insatiable darkness.
We must live. If the cosmos and star fire
run in my veins; if my articulate
flesh holds all the heavens; if this body
is so divine, then let life germinate
in my cock. Let me stroke my own stormy
balls. I shall stand on the edge of this dark
chasm and thumb my cock forward and sigh.
Let us live. If you don't know about lust,
that which made all of us, then watch the arc
of my sperm. Worlds are formed. The earth and sky.
This is living and we must live. We must.
