#Cuffed to my desk
Forced to endure harrassment
Waves of wracking sobs
My body heaves
Pain so deep
No hope in sight
Random words of wisdom
Never help
Theres only one escape
There is nowhere left to go
I cannot hide
But only disappear...

#Effervescence
In the waters
Of streams
& falls
& shoals
Ephemeral
& fleeting
Evanescent
Be our souls
We shelter
In your sanctity
Til by your womb,
Paroled
In your hands
We nascent buds
You shield
As we unfold
Honor be,
Every Mother’s love
Is Life
Let truth be told
#vss365
the wind swirls in me
I know-I should seek shelter
my forecast to please
is received in getting hurt
physically & verbally
I’m a lightning rod
no martyr-I take the strike
then cry out to God
panacea of this plight
yet storms of doubt cloud my heart

If I unfollow you today it's because you follow a huge voice who is inflicting violence and hatred on my trans whānau.
There are still more than 400 of you and I do not have the mental fortitude to let you all know. I am telling noone what to do but I cannot condone your support.
I loved twirling on my toes. Put my arms up like this to make a halo~
until I became his prey. Innocence was raped, but we found a way not to erase all of me. In my family, we marinated in sapid denial savoring ‘all was okay’. The cost? PTSD.

don’t try to inure
the kinder with racism
conceal or obscure
our country’s whitewashed visage
THIS-is about them getting air
YES-literally
‘I can’t breathe’ demands we stand
unanimously
#BlackLivesMatter hand in hand
rising magnanimously

I leave this pinned, because Maybe, Just Maybe, it will be the Dawning Realization of Just how Horrible and Painful the act of Ghosting is, to make amends should you have done it and to give you Wisdom NOT to do it, ever.

Did I mention my Uncle wrote this book?
It's actually really good - and it's only 99 Cents!
He lowered the price for the pandemic - and it's a worthy read!

By the end of the summer, the pandemic will have directly killed 2.2 million Americans, notwithstanding those who will indirectly die as hospitals are unable to care for the usual slew of heart attacks, strokes, and car accidents.
