Suspended Faults
I felt as small as a winter’s flower yet as tall as an old oak tree the seconds dragged on for what seemed like hours when my world turned in on me the cloak I wore was of little comfort just to bridge between present and past I held onto this and other secrets no more a peasant but a king at...

Dying Innocence
A young crow carries them- selves meticulously, screening their surroundings. Too wary to engage with others, but always so observant. A golden jewel shines in a parking lot corner. Tempting the young crow’s eyes. Their bill clutches on, fragile by nature, it breaks. Glass shards pierces their tongue, blood cascades on- to the concrete as the jewel dismantles. Remnants of...

No mountains, Nor Coast
I don't desire mountains, Nor do I desire coasts But I hope when I knock your door, Death, You would be a gracious host. When I come to meet you Death, I hope you would be kind. And shoulder to carry me, None I'd need to find. I hope when I lay there, There would be people who would...

Ota Benga
They took him— not for war, not for crime, but for curiosity. A boy from Congo, where rivers hum with memory, and the trees know your name. Ota Benga— smile full of sun, soul full of sky— was stolen, placed in a cage beside an ape while the world laughed. And they called it science. They called it education. But it was cruelty— plain and piercing. He was not a beast. He was a...

Questioning
Oh Seigneur, Je n’entends plus, Je suis un pêcheur, Avec mes pensées absolues. Où êtes-vous, Ne me laissez pas toute seule, Êtes-vous dégout, Avec mon engueule. Prends pitié, Même si je suis damné, Même si vous ne pouvez pas le justifier, Avec votre ton suranné....

where do I go from here
where do I go from here Jehovah. I have tried and I have not succeed. I did what you have adviced and failed. I have followed your example and instead I am being ostracized. You have seen my affliction, and you have heard my out cries. I wobbling in a pit of excrement, and...

Broken Heart
My heart is filled with so much sorrows. It is aching from disappointments, betrayals, deceptions and lies. How can I stop it from hurting, from crying, and from screaming in pain. My heart is no longer whole, but in fragments. How could I start mending you when I need you to cope. Where do I...
