I Am From pt1I was born and raised in my house, which isn’t home.
At heart, I am from the orange brick house in Westridge Farms
Where I never even lived
There, the pawprints I stamped on the driveway may have long since washed away
But I still left my mark
Even if it was just in the eyes of the horses that...

Eulogy for a CrowI've made up my mind
going to clean out the attic today
leaving nothing but cobwebs behind...
photos of people without names
car seats -chrome tables - baby rattle snakes
dented pots and pans
a guitar slouches in the corner without hands
dreaming of chords never woven
songs never molded from clay.
It's all just ex-rated anyways
it's all just excess anyway.
Things of...

Man of mercyHe was a man who knew how to knock out another man.
Against amateurs, there was just no match for him.
4 years of tough man competitions, he walked away with
the title everytime.
I worked with him for over 10 years and had many talks about boxing.
He told me about how he got to spar Tyson...

Shattered Dreams In The Sky
Dreams were shattered like glass shards,
As innocent lives were pushed into the jaws of death.
Some doctors, engineers, accountants, and bards,
Extinguished were the candles of their breath.
A wife was on her way to meet her spouse,
While the daughters and sons aspired to study abroad,
Alas! Fate destroyed someone's beautiful house,
As the passengers were destined to embark...

A eulogy for the me I had to kill to surviveA eulogy for the me I had to kill to survive
She lay in a casket
I was the killer
But was it really me?
When the world gripped her hand and told her to kill her blackness
She stared in a mirror
Full of sadness
Knowing she would kill her last bit of innocence
So did I...

When We Say GoodbyeWhen we say goodbye,
Time will not stand still.
Life moves on as it always has,
Forsaking my own will.
Don’t try to feel sad—
I’ll know it’s all a lie.
You didn’t love me while alive;
Don’t pretend to care when I die.
I was a burden to so many,
In my youth and old age.
I’d rather go out quietly
Than force a false...

LaikaThey called it a seat,
but it was a cradle of fire—
metal-wrapped, bolted shut,
no window,
just the hum of wires
and the memory of old Moscow snow
still clinging to your pads.
They fed you well
and fastened you in
with practiced hands
that trembled only later.
You blinked once—
trusting, calm—
a good girl ascending
where no stray should go.
The capsule ticked
like a settling house—
soft clicks...

Without wallsThere's a place without walls.
For those who swear that they are floors.
and oh how they die like a flowers bloom
they lie so still in forgotten tombs
(It's not to late to care)
Oh how I miss the lunar gloom
back when stars filled the sky with forgotten tunes.
Come and take my hand don't be afraid.
here are all...

Lost in thoughtI tend to get lost back at the beginning,
such a beautiful end. I don't need to be in love
I can just pretend.
I walk open handed on endless beaches
leavening shallow footprints for someone to find.
My imagination runs wild on the winds of maybe.
I get lost in forever skies, leading me away.
never wanting to find the...

THE WAKE WITOUT VIGILTHE WAKE WITHOUT VIGIL
Time longer than rope
Chokes hearts dangling
In the reality of struggle:-
Grieving mothers and widows
Veil their grief in sagging bosoms
As they wail in excruciating silence:-
Fragments of men, void of hope,
View and count communal graves
Swelling with dirt burying the dead:-
(Buried are “The Wretched Of...

Nor does it sink from the west—
but returns to your stomach
When I touched it I truly understood the work of art that God created...
