4.4.2025



here is a novel I wrote a few years ago. I am super proud of it. the highest marks aka reviews of all my 7 publications. tale of survival. it is creative nonfiction. dual narrators face dangerous urban characters ...

distance between us



the distance 
between you and me 
i cannot live without it anymore 

you cannot walk up on 
a rattlesnake 

we tried but where 
what we once had was 
back when i was a kid 

only a shadow 
remains

euphoria



the cobalt eyeliner
silver shadow 
each tendril of lash 
cocooned in 
mascara 

we have no euphoria 
concealer

speaking of euphoria ... I just found out a story of mine was accepted by Cabrillo for the upcoming summer issue ... https://www.cabrillo.edu/journal-x/

3.26.25

somewhere 
in the second year 
of writing it 
the book becomes my all 
I forego companionship 
food 
sunlight 
music 
but not coffee 
2 finish

desire 
never did me no good 
until it was 
what I wanted 
for you

cell division

 they used to take her apart 

with a single criticism

it takes a very many years

to know yourself indivisible

even mitosis has no effect 

on her. she laughs and shrugs

them off

radio.active



we dyed our hair
radioactive we
refused the onset of spring
stayed underground
we smoked and drank
wiped dopamine trails
from our eyes


we held hands


not everyone copes
the same we
are in this
together
