Haiku

Breeze

I wake in a daze
sensing its breeze on my skin
then I close my eyes.

Things happen when your not looking

—you don’t ask, that’s when it comes

seems like.

RIP Robert Emanuel “Bobby” Franks
1904–1924

Nobody would have cared
if they were brown,
disable or a woman.

Happy Chinese New Year

After years of toil
‘least we know we came out of it
alive. We’re here.

Be like the sun
even when it’s raining
it will never stop shining.

Creating your art

through the lens of others is sabotage

of the self.

Zainab Amin

Today a country
mourns the blood that was spilled
today
Of a young girl.

RIP Rashawn Brazell

They come in smiles
and call themselves friends of yours.
Careful, of devils.

R.I.P. Jennifer Ertman and Elizabeth Peña

Friend, I rather die
than live, knowing I could’ve
helped you but didn’t.

My bruised face will heal

but my heart is breakable

handle me with great care.

Come love, and let this journey of

o
u
r

love

take

flight so even the

gods

could envy us.

Its any wonder
that when it rains
it washes the pain away to.
