But you can’t run and hide from yourself

Sometimes I think I hear voices in my head
And see...

They purvey an unwieldy aspect
To their elderly kindred folk;
Even on this steep hill forms encroach
Upon an edifice grand of bygone grandeur;

Barred to let air and light in and little else.
A lament sung in Gaelic tongue foreign to ears used to French,
But its meaning...

Something it’s not
If we’re going to name things
Let’s give it, some thought

If it’s called a chilli

There is no thing so peaceful
As a winters night in the woods--
A canopy as black as pitch, 
Spangled with the pinpricks of a billion stars--
Shimmering.

From the depths of history, their stories unfold,
Of black men and women with spirits untold,
In defiance of chains, they rose above,
Their hearts relentless, fueled by love.

African kings and queens, proud and revered,
Adorned with...

on this winter evening-
it was quite dreamy as I walked
really peaceful-
I had only walked two short blocks
and there was a Christmas tree lot.
