18
It's been so long
I look at the calendar
And the date that is
Getting close again
And I just can't believe
How many years have gone by
And still every year
I cry for what was lost
And what could have been
18 is just too young
To die
I miss you still Shar
It hurts my heart that you're
Gone
I look at the calendar
And the date that is
Getting close again
And I just can't believe
How many years have gone by
And still every year
I cry for what was lost
And what could have been
18 is just too young
To die
I miss you still Shar
It hurts my heart that you're
Gone

Navajo for "Older Sister"
This goes out to every woman who has lost another woman to the hands of cruel men
Navajo, or no. I, an outsider to the Navajo community, was raised in Arizona and befriended this wonderful young lady. I could only watch this beautiful young girl who was kept away from the rest of her people by her abusive father to include him keeping her from female family members, become a product of her hellish environment. I can't help but feel I have failed her somehow. I tried suggesting she moved away from the men who had threatened and beat her and...

Darkspots
when I was a young tot
she curled my bangs
and burned me hot
skin sizzling, my
emotions toward her
kept on burning
as I held up a mirror
to flames, eternally
~ ~ ~
darkspots emerging
on aging skin
marketed products
to hide the sin
casting shadows
on truths within
reminders of all
that has been
she curled my bangs
and burned me hot
skin sizzling, my
emotions toward her
kept on burning
as I held up a mirror
to flames, eternally
~ ~ ~
darkspots emerging

A genuine moment
Know that I am happy for you,
I only wish the best for you too.
I haven't felt physical love and care for months now.
When you hugged me,
I felt genuine love for me and I don't know how.
How can this be?
I thought no one really cared about me.
I used to feel like true love has faded from the world.
That people want love, but don't want to fight,
for it.
They don't want a war.
They just want the victory.
I thought they only liked certain parts of me.
But when...
I only wish the best for you too.
I haven't felt physical love and care for months now.
When you hugged me,
I felt genuine love for me and I don't know how.
How can this be?
I thought no one really cared about me.
I used to feel like true love has faded from the world.
That people want love, but don't want to fight,
for it.
They don't want a war.
They just want the victory.
I thought they only liked certain parts of me.
But when...

It'd be so easy to leave but I can't
I awake to sunlight stabbing between my eyelids
Jabbing me out of a beautiful dream
In it I had runaway and was selfish for once
One selfish choice made up of a thousand decisions
But here I am awake, stomach in knots
My hands shaking as I turn over
Closing my eyes tightly, curling in on myself
My mind frantically searching for what I had
Just one, just one moment I had escaped
Yes, I've chosen this life and I know
I won't be walking away any time soon
There are cages you can't escape from
It's more complicated than picking a lock...
Jabbing me out of a beautiful dream
In it I had runaway and was selfish for once
One selfish choice made up of a thousand decisions
But here I am awake, stomach in knots
My hands shaking as I turn over
Closing my eyes tightly, curling in on myself
My mind frantically searching for what I had
Just one, just one moment I had escaped
Yes, I've chosen this life and I know
I won't be walking away any time soon
There are cages you can't escape from
It's more complicated than picking a lock...

indigo and blue are my only sisters
They loved me the way society approved
And hated me whenever they felt bitter
I loved them the way I saw fit
And all I saw was pain and sadness covered in glitter
I loved them even when I was hurting
Even when they ran out of all the pretty shimmer
I loved them unconditionally
Even when I was rejected for not being their sister
They love me much more now
As if I wasn't still so so bitter
They love the memories we had
How I always kept on loving HER
They never saw the hurt and the sorrow
They just look at me now...
And hated me whenever they felt bitter
I loved them the way I saw fit
And all I saw was pain and sadness covered in glitter
I loved them even when I was hurting
Even when they ran out of all the pretty shimmer
I loved them unconditionally
Even when I was rejected for not being their sister
They love me much more now
As if I wasn't still so so bitter
They love the memories we had
How I always kept on loving HER
They never saw the hurt and the sorrow
They just look at me now...

The Letter
Dear Daii,
You might be wondering why I’m writing this letter to you, you might not know who I am because I go unnoticed by almost everyone. I feel there are a few things to be uncovered and discover I'll try to not make this a long letter because I know how busy your day gets from you struggling to open your beautiful sparkly brown eyes to meet the sun that glares through your curtains to you managing and maintaining those small curls that protect and shelters that magnificent brain of yours, the effortlessness in choosing the right colors and shades that perfectly matches your persona...

Unbearable Levity of Kinship
Unbearable Levity of Kinship
She tells her fellow girlfriend and Barista wrapped in one, “When I get in this mood I laugh at everything. I laugh at customers in their faces which isn’t good at work. This happens to me once a week. I spilled coffee on my skirt and it was hilarious.”
A patron says, “Are you are in a funny mood?”
She focuses on her customer at hand, “Oh, sir I’m all ticklish. Give me Xanax to calm me down.”
“Is it my beard or my tattoo that tickles you?”

Sauna Fidelity Test
Sauna Fidelity Test
“My brother-in-law are you comfortable in this sauna?”
“It is quite warm but that is what these hothouses are for.”
“Well, if you need to take off your towel I won’t mind. Your wife will understand. No need to go around swaddled in this swelter.”
“The heat is oppressive so in the interest of comfort, I’ll go nude. But are you comfortable with me in this state of undress?”
“You were already mostly naked. I consider what is underneath to be a perfectly healthy part of the male physique.”
“I bet that...

My Sultana, My Sister
My Sultana, My Sister
My sister is the Sultana
who rules the kingdom alongside her Sultan.
One day the Sultan’s concubine
praises my sister for the finery of her blouse.
My sister compliments the concubine’s earrings.
And a hug of admiration ensues
as strong and loving as any embrace on earth.
I wait in the antechamber for the coffee
my sister bears each day as a sign of filial piety.
But to my surprise the Sultan’s concubine
brings the brew with a smile and a hand squeeze.
She says, “Your sister tells me that you...

Two Daughters Vie for Prince
Two Daughters Vie for Prince
One daughter dresses in gaudy jewelry
With lots of sugar in her inflection
The other daughter wears her modesty
Like a proud blue Jeanne
With a soft smile and even softer words
That sprinkle sugar lightly
The two girls make ready for the prince to visit
Jeanne says, “I can be sexy.
Let’s have a contest, dear sister.
You flaunt your derrière
for maximum lurid effect.
I will give the prince
a subtle hint of my sensuality.”
