Mood: The mess in the room is spectacular. Weeks, maybe even months of accumulated filth lie everywhere. Dishes have grown mould. Curtains are stained everywhere. Clothes are strewn on the floor. Pictures, once hung, now broken on the floor. Pictures, still hang, with broken frames and missing faces. In the middle of the room there is a chair, where a…

If your walls could talk they’d tell you it’s too late Kendrick Lamar There was a time when you knew. When your drowning held itself with grace. Grace; that rampant, violent riot that calls itself a form of love. You can only be calm when the outside is drowning if the inside is in the same state. Balance was never…
Undying
Death resides in the lake. But in order to understand this we must first begin by understanding the many ways that death resides. Like light, or any other great equalizer, death in its natural form has been known to exist in waves. A close reading of these waves can either show the beginning or the end. The problem occurs, then,…
Closer Inspection
But, if you pay close attention, they are coming back. The ones that you thought you had destroyed. The ones that you thought you had left far in the past. They’ve been watching, learning.

“Do you remember or has your history forsaken you?” – Saul Williams Ever since you were born you learned how to echo things that were said to you.

Falling
They will tell you the work you are doing is a drop in the ocean. Remind them, that even drops cause ripples. Still somehow conversations have becoming something that we have decided to look at as ways to destroy each other. In a silencing nation we wonder why people don’t speak. Silencing, I have been told is a…
