I was hungry, so, I ate, I was thirsty, and I was satisfied, unlike those in Africa, those with bulging bellies, and bulging eyes, and those with a hunger and a thirst, that they cannot placate. I was hungry, so I ate. I was thirsty, and my thirst was quenched, and I was satisfied, but […]

In the cafe, I was here for a little while, as the snowflakes fell out of the sky, and I saw you cry a while, in your designer clothes, and with nary a smile, and of such a mood, a mood as black as the day, and you, you sat alone and I looked at […]

I wait

I wait for her as patiently as can be. I wait for her, and I always know she will never arrive, when she says she will, for she arrives when she arrives, and the time rolls back and forth like the sea, and well, I wait for her patiently and I am happy, because she […]

I’ve missed you, because I do, and I feel it in me, and I feel it in you, and I see it in the sparkle in your eyes, and I feel blessed by you, and I hear it in your voice when we are apart, and I am happy, happy, in knowing that your heart […]
