Check out my newest song Sarita, Sarita :D …………………………………………………………………... Like a Poet Why am I surprised that I’m swept up by life — like a poet mulling over headlines — like a poet carrying my child — like a poet Grief and Beauty Embrace and Refusal My life is only tensions But of course my heart breaks as it heals Of course I receive love with an eye on its pain on its way to me This way has its hold on me All grasps at relief to clothe me: costumes They itch and wrap tight ‘round my neck squeezing me out of them I tried to stay— but acceptance wouldn’t have me I’m the unmovable always moving I am the kiss on the cheek and the sting of its received slap I am the un-mender of weapons I am words that cut. Surgically. I am shaky hands trembling at your touch trembling in anger trembling in wonder It’s no wonder I’m a ball of angst and hunger staring at the heart plundered Furious with a love that refuses anything less than love …………………………………………………………………... Extras: We Are Humans playlist : Some fun for your ears— and maybe even your feet if you feel like dancing. Remembering- A Mixed Media Animation Exploring Grief: (1 minute video) a beautiful take on home videos, family, and a moment with Maya Angelou’s wisdom.

SKIN + BONES I don't want to wake up to have to be God Can't I just be enough as a human?

What the World Needs Now I study the words of and pray to a person who plumbed the depths of human suffering who came on the other side intact — maintaining a piercing perception of the terror the insanity the desperation to be loved pulling the strings of humanity’s clenched fist suspending and releasing suspending and releasing blood spilling red blood drying brown on our noses on our fists whose blood is this? Indestinguishable I study the words of and pray to a person who embodies the consequences of humans forsaking their humanity — the sacredness of their very being— by denying the sacredness of another’s I study the words of and pray to a person who peers into our throbbing souls and cries Forgive them, for they know not what they do This is a public episode.
