Sometimes, I like to walk barefoot
So I can feel the squishy grass
And the beauty of freedom

Happy Great Fire Day. On this day 118 years ago, James Weldon Johnson saw huge plumes of smoke in LaVilla and jumped on his bike to rush back and try to save Old Stanton. #ilovejax

return to your pens and paper,
return to the fire, that passion
born in youth, forged from
the beautiful hunger to enlighten,
your dreams nurturing each flame.

some days I try to imagine myself as
someone else;

I picture my life different from this,
filled with the sacrificial suffering experienced by people better than me;

they are resilience personified,
endowed with blessings
far exceeding my own.

when we are together
there is no time,
this life, with all of
its many movements
slows to a crawl–

in those moments
I see you,
the reality of my life,
sharp, clear;

you are a reflection
in my eyes.

today, I planted an oak tree
in your honor;
its roots, tender and new,
sank into soil you now share.

today, the day that claimed you,
is a doleful reminder
of a life unspent—it is pale and cold,
a semblance of sorrow
born from your absence.

Celebration of Voice is after school in the Black Box on April 25! Mark your calendars!

you cannot hide
behind your mask for long,
those cracks, little fissures
in your façade will soon show–

crevices will tear and open
and peel away a veil
no longer remaining
to hide you.

where there are words
there is hope

and freedom
in each line and loop;

where there are voices
there is light,

a stark illumination
piercing night,

beckoning the lost,
guiding the stray.
