6 Dead, 4 Wounded, And One On The Way

Leukemia boys and
Leukemia girls wave
in hospital volunteers,
as the angels wave
them away.

What is 
love?

Beyond
an overpriced
ambulance ride,
and an unnecessary
hospital stay?

The most beautiful things:
summer sweat,
and Rome after
rain.

Inside,
a child draws
a yellow sun
with trembling fingers.
The IV, taped
down like it’s trying
to hold him
there.

Forced positivity.
A heart full of
apathy.

I see that
same world you try
to see with substance sober,
and I’ll be the first to

The Masnavi of Giti and Saeed - Part 6, 7 and 8

Part Six — The Story Begins

The tale begins, as poets say,
Of lovers two who found their way.

That radiant child, so young and fair,
A cypress tall with flowing hair.

The envy of all idols bright,
With beauty born to charm the sight.

Wherever she would softly tread,
A thousand hearts behind her fled.

That idol—when her veil was drawn,
The pride of

Hiroshima – eighty years since August 6th, 1945

About fourteen and a half years 
before my birth,
yours truly not even a twinkle  
in the eyes of his then 
young father and mother
the former born April 9th 1929, 
while the latter would be turning ten
that upcoming November 13th
living in destitution 
with her three older siblings

Premium MemberA Porch Swing's Tale

A Porch Swing's Tale
The sun hangs low, a bruised peach in the sky
my old boots are caked with the red dust of a journey I never started
three

This here porch swing rocks on, steady and slow
but my soul feels like it's caught between the back porch and the front gate
somewhere between a hello and a goodbye,

His 9 was my 6

You said I never tried enough,
But I thought showing up was love.
I held your hand through quiet storms,
But never knew how deep they cut.

You wanted words —
I gave you time.
You wanted truth —
I gave you signs.
You asked for more than I could name,
And all I gave felt just… the same.

I saw your tears, I heard

PHILIPPIANS 4-6

Count all those blessings
You’ve been given
Be it soul thankful
Of your all delivering
No fretting on yesterdays
Or now tomorrows
Abba Father doesn’t clean you sorrows
Let you be gratitude received
Fill your heart for all that God has done
For you and me
Focus on your blessing, not your struggles
Our Father Originator of all
Promises and blessings
Let you be gratitude received

Premium MemberChiaroscuro

Backlit in life’s shadows –
the exacting burden of responsibilities –
you are lost.
Bathed in light amongst shadows
of trials and tribulations that
internal hope defrosts;
one can but surmise 
your inner strength,
as the light bends to reveal the cost.

The Boxer by Simon and Garfunkel




The Boxer-verse 6

I’ve truly fought the good fight
And I’ve lost more than I’ve won
But no matter what the outcome
I know that I can live with pride
For I gave the best I could in every fight
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie

10-6-2025 Side: B

Sneezing again,
Somewhat lost control over me.
Again.
And now the seasons changed,
Summer’s walking out on me. 
Again.
The nicotine chain, 
Forcing down another twenty.
Again.
Wheezing refrain,
I feel the rain pouring down on me. 
Yet again.
Reminisce again of the roof above, 
Something that once held over me. 
But the sky now drops tears, 
Joyless tears, 
Again.

Love washed over me. 
Again.

Pointlessly

I just want to be loved, 
For however long it lasts, 
It’s enough, 
I just need someone to lift me out of the mud. 
I just want to be loved, 
Even for five minutes, 
Passed over,
I’m fine with being lost in the flood. 
I just want to be loved, 
For however long it lasts, 
It’s

June 6 2025 Transgender Military Ban

"You may now not serve this country
Though you may be fit and kind
I tell you this quite bluntly
I will suppress your kind

Petitions and the public
Shall never hassle my laws;
Amist a starving republic
They believe me
When I tell them you are the flaws

For I've convince them all the bathrooms
Are threatening where you lurk
I've convinced them all your

6-6-2025 Took A Break

I slept at the foot of the mountain, 
There’s cheese in the trap waiting, 
Bait out the prey, 
Counting out every second it’s taking. 
Haven’t ate in several days, 
In a week.
Listen for the snap, 
Now there’s dinner in the trap waiting. 
I forgot my second language, 
Guess I have nothing worth saying.
Thank god for
