Roack-a-bye, Baby
I know no other way
the weight of his absence presses
aching…waiting…
begging for his return
as nights close in
shadow draping me in yearning
the remembrance nearly blistering
moments of fierce and desperate
thundering of twin beats
throb piercing me
and I cannot…will not…forget
saturation a constant

A Monday of Opposites and Gravitational Longing
13th arrives
with the blunt honesty of a Monday
that refuses to disguise itself.It is a day built on opposites,
light leaning against shadow,
certainty dissolving into doubt,
the heart pulling forward

it was looking for its morning meal,
but it turned in my direction,

Heave Silence
words recede
when darkness settles
and sound is heard only at the edges
muffled though they be…
silent sobs and absolute grief
louder in my senses
than gunshots and shouts of jubilation
because we all know where hate takes us
but only some will see it
guess it’s only visible…
from the barrel end of a gun

It sounds like moment of redemption. The darkness seems to have control it all.
It talks about gunshots, shouts of jubilation over hate, and staying “triggered.” It’s that “eye for an eye” energy where the fight never ends because everyone is “just warming up” to hurt each other back.

The only way to fight hate is with love and compassion. Standing together in the face of adversity and having each other’s back.
