Summoning All Mothers
When he called out to his mama, that’s what hit me the most. His mother died two years ago, but I believe she was there with him as he called. She was there in his last breath and in his mind’s eye, like an angel watching over his death. Soldiers use to call their mother’s…

An Inconsistent Blogger
I may be many things, but a consistent blogger is not one of them. At least, not writing it all down. On a daily basis, I write in my head. Sometimes things I believe to be quite good, but it disappears and I would most of the time rather not bother putting it all down. …

Isolitude
I feel like I’m thriving in isolation. I am not lonely even with myself. There’s so much on my list I have buried because of work and whatever, but now there is no excuse. Digitize documents. Check.

Dreaming a New Path
I still love tech, but I find myself dreading the applications for tech jobs and the thought of working in that field again. It’s not the tech that jaded me, but the experiences I’ve had, especially with the bias and discrimination by both men and women. I am tired of being seen as a tool…

DeGeneration
We are down deep In the depths of a grave stuck in dirt With a pop desensitized culture Of declining mom & pop shops Angel dusted with the glory of gentrification. This is the generation where we degenerate Into that collective apocalyptic dream Broadcasting vampires, zombies, and TrumpTV And episodes of the CoronaVirus Leaving behind…

The Point
Yes, there is a point There is a point to everything Like the tip of a pencil or pen Sharpened But the point is gone and only a period remains.

This morning’s songbird
After the early morning ritual of spitting out impurities, Washing the hair, Expiring the warmth of flowing water Like petals on your back Licking I am greeted with a bird of a song, And she sang to me, “The world is a scary place it is A scary place The world is…
