falling
&
falling
&
falling
behind

Outta money
Outta time

Feels like just months ago
I had my life together but,

Here i am
trying to put my life together

again
&
again

Day Mar 2021

mourn the dead and fight like hell for the living

Love
~
To ‘Joci’
We honor you.

Rage
~
We failed you.

Solidarity
~
I’m so very sorry.

I am angry at this country, this system, this body of mine - for not doing better for those beaten down by the system. Our unhoused population deserves so much better. It’s time to do better. RIP Joci - you were loved.

Day Feb 2021

My favorite cup

The glass shattered on the floor
&
I stared at it

- i threw it on the ground but,
I couldn’t comprehend my purposeful
destruction -

I loved that cup

Why did I break it?

Sadness fills me up -but- like that cup
I can’t contain the content anymore

Day Feb 2021

are you a boy or a girl ?

Honestly, I’m really tired of this conversation
and worn down from this constant repetition

I’m just here -
Not a girl, not a boy
Tired of being treated
Like some type of toy

Please stop -
Asking me
How to make it work
Because
I don’t know.

I don’t t ever ******* know.

_ _ dependence

maybe it’s the drugs
maybe it’s just how I feel

Day Jan 2021

until the hot water runs out

Sank into the black ink
and bathed in the warmth of his skin
inebriated
&
willingly losing my breath.

My back burned red and
water filled my ears.

It was easy to drown the
sound of doubt
circling in the drain -

Until it wasn’t

Until flesh turned cold
And my bones told
that it was time to go.

Tears came but
they couldn’t heat me up.

As the tub emptied,
I sat shivering for a while
a chilly sting
lingering
on my chest.

M-i-s-s-i-s-s-i-p-p-i

Most days
I have no goal
Say it ain't
So
I lost my
Soul
Somewhere
In the river
Poor little me stuck in the
Present
I've got no place else to go
