I slowly make my way, eyeing the perfect place to perch— the bench sitting in the full sun, caressing my face with its rays. I’m drawn to the light and shy away from the shade. It gives me a reason to be alive as I watch the children run around. So many years spent at the park; now I am here with my greats, wishing...

They were never waiting for us girl. They were one step ahead though they never had a case. Between the streets and highways they would chase and hunt us down like rats just to put us "in our place." MacArthur Park is trending in the news, all the big bad ICE men going round, looking for some brown folks to detain. I don't think that...

Baby swing unused for eight years Glider has sat dormant since 2019 Dual slides; who was the last one to slide down them? I do not remember because it has been a while I congratulate myself on making this play park into a dog park The dogs use the underside of the slides for shade They have dug holes around the...

You are not the victim Stop trying to manipulate the situation We are all seeing We are all knowing We are all loving Not you So when we change the narrative And put your hate in the spotlight Don't use our discomfort Our resistance And our need for justice As a way to use your tears To make you the victims But you won't get our sympathy Nor our...

[Verse 1] I was safe inside a wooden box, Fresh and clean, no scars or knocks, Never knew what lay outside, Till someone grabbed me, threw me wide. [Verse 2] Then came a crack that broke my soul, Sent me flying out of control— Over fences, into the crowd, Lost in cheers, I’m nowhere now. [Pre-Chorus] I didn’t know what I was for, Just flying faster than...

I usually give my dogs a treat in Cousin’s Park This is where my grandchildren once played. It has a fort, two slides, a swingset, and other kid stuff. The grandchildren have outgrown it. I should rename this Dog Park. But we have a metal sign that says Cousin’s Park. I don’t want to take that away from the grandchildren. Sometimes they...

With skateboard tight in hand, his hair cut to the skull, he takes long drags on cigarettes, flinging each butt with an easy flick of fingers. At five feet, slim, in sockless sneakers large for a boy his size and age, lost in oversized cloths new to his adolescence, his trousers barely hang on his half...

My lady friend and I sit on stumps. When she sings she rings the woods with a monarch's butterfly wings. A crowd of bikers on foot as hikers in thick with woods unsaddles moods. Old ladies end up mothering their men with woodsy mugs. Men spot us and stop smothering their ladies with bear hugs. Sweat rolls off of one of them; he's guzzling down a beer. As...

The warmth of the sunrise cast upon the emptiest park. The treeline afar resembling a foreign far eastern palace. The wind blowing the leaves and swings out of their stillest place....
