Priestess Poetry
Poems and Spoken Word by Lisa Citore
Lisa Citore’s performance poetry is raw, lyrical, and visual, taking readers and audiences on a ride to their deepest desires to set their own authentic expression free.
Her poem, “If You Want to Change the World, Love a Woman,” (2008) has traveled the blogosphere and facebook like wildfire despite Lisa’s complete lack of interest—until recently— in social media or life online. Her poem, “White Noise,” was featured on CNN and in The Wall Street Journal with her picture after performing at the Slam Poetry Nationals (1998), where Lisa was a finalist.
Frog and Butterfly
I created some of my own sex positions and titles, expanding the Tao to include more gay and lesbian erotica. My fingers are moving sly across your palm like women everywhere lovers spanning time We speak in code flesh as text Striving to convert an inexperienced tongue, I translate braille hieroglyphics on your skin into our herstory. Standing like a shy child
The Bitch
My last period I threw our tv out the window. I hate Saturdays. The kids fight all morning over the Nintendo until I shove them out of the apartment. By the time I clean and grocery shop, I have five minutes to myself before my husband comes home from from work, grabs the remote and parks it on the couch.
