Injecting passion

music, the tranquilliser

into broken souls

Why she writes

A slice of her breast

upon the world to bestow

writer’s soul beckons

The view

Downtown Chicago as seen from above

A glass window stands

between me and world beyond

my family home


That’s not the view from my home (ha, I wish). It’s downtown Chicago, as seen from the 84th floor of a rather small buildingโ€”by Chicago’s standards. The window wasn’t too clean, but I like that it serves as a reminder of the barrier.

What we have in common

Street mural in Austin, Texas

Thirst to quench the cold

flocking around flaming coal

share the fire, the goals
