  • Whole

    Whole
    Feb 11 2024

    A poem about letting go and being happy in the process.

    Whole

    Shadowless smile

    Beckoning through the night

    The double walking backwards

    Hesitant,

    A flickering smoky hand on a rusty wall,

    Tipped by an inky spot

    Where the whole closes its door.

  • Skinned Can

    Skinned Can
    Feb 11 2024

    A poem about nonsensical racial identity.

    Skinned Can

    The skin, a boundary,

    Insulating me from the Other,

    Colors my identity,

    Soaring at stake,

    Entrusted in the rain,

    My only true bond,

    Or am I a transparent observer?

    A voter, blue?

    A breath, red?

    A partisan, white?

    A soldier, green?

    A motley Mockingbird?

    Grin
    Feb 11 2024

    A poem about blissful solitude and contemplation. Grin

    I inhabit the underside of the mirror,

    Ride along the reflection of the shop’s window

    A grin with a limp smile,

    As blissful as the mute

    Solitude of the night.
