After the elections and the far-right's surge, I was asked to write a poem to “counter far-right imaginaries.” I wrote "Will You Follow Me Into the Flames?", a piece about friendship in times of struggle.
I’m trans. I know what the future holds. What matters to me now isn’t who calls themselves an “ally,” but who’ll be there when everything burns.
With Rok & Dudu, we created a political and musical project, built on powerful texts about classism, precarity, racism, and social violence. We talk about Mélenchon, our hardships, poetry, rage, and our lost friends. A spoken-word set over cold wave, new wave, and pop tracks — a form I had missed, now completing my trashy rock star persona.
It’s raw, committed, and sits at the crossroads of the political, the social, and the intimate. A blunt kind of poetry, shaped by our queer, geek, and working-class realities.
