Lost

What do you do 
when you lose your life’s love
one it took years
To find
that one

Find another
I don’t have that long

Get a dog
I had a cat

Be happy
How

Salt Lake

I laid down with you
you were naked
as though you had planned it

I wanted to spit buttons
to the far corner of the room
you said no and no

so I lay there between the sky
and a salt lake.

Marcus Garvey

“A people without knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots”  

Marcus Grvey

I don’t need to believe I was descended from kings to believe I am great. Stripped and whipped, we put down roots that are undeniable, that support who we are today and who we will be tomorrow. We invent culture and history everyday because we have no choice.

We spend too much time trying to know the unknowable, fighting against a narrative they will never relinquish. Let’s spend the time creating solid foundations and futures where we are the tellers of history.
