Mateo Montoya

Alliterations of Allegorical Authority
 
Microagressions of material existence

Transcend temporal transitions
 

Enlightening essences eloquently enunciate

Silenced by the semantics of solitude
 

Empowerment ensures emancipation

Treks through terrestrial transgressions

Poles of positionality pervade
 

Attempts of authenticity aggregate

Regrets of reification render

Vehement validation of versed voice

Resistance against racialized representations
 

Beauty buttressed by boisterous benevolence

Preemptively patronized by paternalism

Denigrated by dominance of deficit discourse

Warrants of western wizardry

Disgraced by daunting daemons
 

Ancestry of assimilations annihilate

Ethnic epistemological existentialism endures

Countless counter-narratives collide

Indentured ideologies of intent

Haunted houses of hierarchical hypocrisy

Impart imperial intelligences
