• Just a Flesh Wound

    just walk it off
    how bad can it be?
    if they have to ask…
    they really don’t get it

  • April 20th, The Quiet Inheritance…

    April 20th does not speak.
    It enters the room
    like someone carrying a secret
    too heavy for language.

    No greetings.
    No warnings.
    Just a presence,
    dense, deliberate,
    a stone placed gently
    on the month’s trembling chest.

    your devotion flows
    into the unseen, the unheard
    everlasting.
