Something To Think About #13

The US is the only home you know, yet you’re still treated like you don’t belong here . . .

And, you did NOT commit the crime of which you were originally accused.

Make It Make Sense!!!


I will share “Something To Think About” for the next three weeks on Sunday afternoons. It may be a quote, a picture, an interesting phrase I heard, artwork, etc. Whatever I share will surely be intriguing or involving enough to spark a casual discussion or in-depth conversation. Stay tuned every Sunday for this feature!


Have you gotten your copy of my new book: a collection of serial tales & flash fiction, Séduire (E-Book and Paperback) yet?

I recently signed up to write on Substack as well. Poking the Bear’s Belly for Fun is a place of healing as I speak about the most recent events with my place of employment as it pertains to racism and discrimination. I welcome your visit.

talking points

political talk
shakes up our nation so fast
we’re built on these lies
this administration knows
its power dethrones others

a terror within

NaPoWriMo #2

I’ve never defeated the terror within . . .
I fight it and fight it and fight it, yet – its
presence is still a drumming obstacle
I cannot clear.

if I signal peace and strength, one
usually defeats the other, but this
“beast of burden” carries on inside
me like it owns the place.

I am at its mercy whether I want to
be or not.

insurmountable dread

NaPoWriMo #1

waking up to another day
the body wants to remain
plastered to a pillow top – the
mind longs to power down.

speaking to the beast
gives me hives, and I’d
rather stay at home where
dreams don’t come alive
with the intent to strangle
me.

every new day is an opportunity
for the beast to build another
house of lies.
I have grown tired of
shapeshifting and code-switching,
shadowboxing my way to peace.
