marginalized,
siloed,
anxious,
neglected.

The Night Before Christmas By Edgar Allan Poe
On the night before Christmas, alone in my house,
Sorrow gnawed at my soul, like a ravenous mouse.
Entombed in my blankets, I struggled to sleep,
Ready to snap if I counted more sheep.
I rose at the...

A View From a Window
As dawn unfolds today beyond my fractured windowpane,
a breeze beguiles the ashen drapes. Like snakes they slip aside,

Spring Break V - Russians On Miami Beach
I.

Standing on the hot Miami sand

To the lack of crumbs
From us
The stingy blue collar visitors
From freezing old...

Since the country's discovery, we've been abused
Standing with strength, will prevent us from...

Blood Stained and Bleeding World
What's happened to world serenity?
It been trampled on and has run amuck,
burned and wounded, ravaged by hate
while people look on as though they're dumbstruck.
