Rantings
Tell my son I loved him. And laughed genuinely, many times, soul to soul. Those feelings of life my son, are real, those feelings of life are real. The world inside my head crashes to the ground and shatters and I recognize my flame and confuse that for my eternal wrongness. How am I making…

Every Demon Within
and it breaks my heart but there is no other place to start. And no other place, in the wide world to look death and destruction are an open book. Every man and woman is not themselves but just pretenders in the realm and upholders of the fear and sure keepers of what they hold…

Shedding Weight
Damn. Black skinned girl. Black skinned tribe. Damn. You make things move in me. And you make other things stop. And so I wonder What’s the problem… What’s the problem… What’s the real problem, in any of it.

Deja Vu
It’s dark. This is always where I was heading. Any surprise… It’s for… It’s for… It’s for… The crushing disappointment Hasn’t been crushing for some time. Not because I’ve made different choices But because of the choice I keep making. I am removed, No longer tempted But sated at all turns Hungry for nothing But…

Anger
Sometimes…most times It brings me back. And I know enough, now, 22 years later… That it’s OK. That familiar, gleeful burn That “let’s fucking get it going” That “Oh it feels good to be back” I strut Internally And swing the shoulders of my pomp. When I am like this, it’s all I know, It’s…

Dipping a Toe: It’s Messy
Am I ready For “Trump” And “Bannon” and “The Alt Right”? Am I ready for the hate they inspire? The problem is not them. The problem is the hate. And I don’t think I’m ready. The strength you need to take in hate and convert it to love is beyond me. I would much rather…
