We are looking for videos of poets performing/reading their cleave poems, either in private or to an audience.

To begin with here are youtube links of Diana Manister reading at The Bowery Club and Phuoc-Tan Diep reading at The Poetry Society Cafe.

Hubble a Cosmic Cleave by Diana Manister

Hubble a Cosmic Cleave

Of the years of being
lost in space.           homeless in a
                         placeless place
only the falling
feeling remains          and all the stars
                         whistling away like jet planes
