I look forward to Loving again...
not to devalue the love that I recently let go of. But to experience a love, that is so strong, they choose me, us, no matter the ‘circumstances.’ Something full and enthralling. Something… better? The better I never thought could exist after loving and losing such a magnificent woman. Is that not the goal? To do things better than before? To demand better for yourself than...

Antique Lamp - Erica Miriam Fabri
There’s an antique lamp with stained glass on the dresser next to our bed. It’s so old, that it rattles like dishes in an earthquake every time we open a drawer. If you wake up before me and reach for your socks the lamp’s rattle climbs into my ear like a roach, just in case I am dreaming of another lover, or another life, and I needed to be reminded where I live, and who I love. I don’t remember...

Poseidon- Patricia Smith
Poseidon was easier than most. He calls himself a god, but he fell beneath my fingers with more shaking than any mortal. He wept when my robe fell from my shoulders. I made him bend his back for me, listened to his screams break like waves. We defiled that temple the way it should be defiled, screaming and bucking our way from corner to corner. The bitch goddess probably got a real kick...

Funny Moment of the Morning
So i’m walking down broadway on the upper west side. It’s raining and I want desperately to get to my car to go home. (of course I forgot to bring a change of clothes) Due to the rain the umbrellas were out and up in mass. One particularly short lady (i think the PC term is little person?) was walking down the street with her umbrella. A very stush Caucasian woman runs up behind her...

The Soul of Black Music, Where has it Gone?
Call me old school, but give me the Blues, Soul, some good authentic New Orleans’ Jazz, or a Negro Spiritual and I’m a happy camper. I wouldn’t say there is no current music that doesn’t touch the soul, but…it’s rare. I grew up on Nina Simone, Anita Baker, John Lee Hooker, Bessie Smith and so many other great classic artists. Although today’s...

I hate when people ask me “what are you?” Why do I have to be anything?! It interrupts the conversation. And plus, I Am that I Am. FIN. Heifer.
