2022-10-30 Some think / nothing is so / until it has been witnessed.
2022-10-23 I want to roar but their ears / can never attune to my voice.
2022-10-16 Watch them seethe when stimulated
2022-10-02 foolishly imagines / she has the right to exist.
2022-09-25 How much have I dared in opposition?
2022-09-18 We give because someone gave to us. / We give because nobody gave to us.
2022-09-11 Is there aught you need that my hands withhold, / Rich gifts of raiment or grain or gold?
2022-09-04 then meaning came with its invincible glare
2022-08-28 sun rises / like rent / sun rises / like a flag / sun rises / like the ocean
2022-08-21 The oldest among us will recognize that glow
2022-08-14 divisions grow stronger. / That’s what “chosen” and “unchosen” will do.
2022-08-07 When disaster comes, some of us will stand on / the rooftop to address the ghosts.
2022-07-31 The Destiny of Earthseed / Is to take root among the stars.
2022-07-24 my family drowns again / on a microphone for strangers
2022-07-17 We will be as falling stars to those watching from the edge
2022-07-10 and pain becomes the only keeper / of my time
2022-07-03 liberation from my own daily routines
2022-06-26 There is no such thing as a single-issue struggle because we do not live single-issue lives.
2022-06-19 Dad, he turns, and looks / at you, bewildered, /
2022-06-12 / We are not wise, and not very often / kind. And much can never be redeemed.
