These days it is hard to be jovial you say to me.

But even in sharing your thoughts a smidgen of light gets in.

You smile.

flying in to feed and quench
then empty

leave after leave
leaves like sheafs of paper
reams of it, no, a cascade
a waterfall of not forever.

Sometimes I remind myself
Gwendolyn Brooks wrote all that she did
just looking out a window.
Not even going outside.

Knives in knots
injustices tied to injustices
tied to more injustices
a dance of the uninvited
wearing yesterday’s clothes
not showered for a week
mangy hair and dirty nails
they won’t stop won’t
stop won’t stop won’t stop try
to shut them up just try.
I dare you.

I used to dream of fireflies
but then lights were snubbed.

I used to dream of owls
but then their necks were wrung.

I used to dream of fishes
but then their fins were snipped.

Now I dream of dreams
safe in the knowledge
that they belong only to me.

Today, I learnt that I am political.

I'm just not loud
or in your face
because I'm scared
and I'm tired.

My politics is kindness,
is about growing,
is real.

We didn’t stop going outside
at once 1st big gatherings
parks no fireworks this 4th

Farmers markets restaurants
shops eerie with absence
glooming sense
nowhere is safe
worlds icing over

Borders drawn 1/4ed
we tried to feel safer at home
even as we ?ed
what the word
could mean

It’s been a long time since I drew. It felt so good to be visually creative again. 🥰 #losslit

Chasing deadlines
I put my blinkers on
hoping that I don't run over anyone...

It's a June afternoon as I read a line on grief when I realise why my longing is so forlorn.

Time has made me an unrequited lover -

Grief is an unrequited love.
