A flock crossed
the circle as rays
stretched through
my open hand. Tabitha
says on the coldest days
the sky does not absorb
the light; it magnifies it.

I could not feel
my fingertips but I slipped
off a glove to raise
a bare palm in greeting
to the light that only comes
when ice crystals stand
between self and sun.

This is how weβll survive the winter.
βInauguration Day, January 20, 2025
On the most bitter day
of winter, rainbows
chased the sunβs heels
herding diamond dust
into a halo I only saw
because I stopped
to fill my tires.

Oh also, every day but *especially* this day feels like a good day to remind you that one of the 2 biggest orgs against the passage of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) was the Evangelical Christian school lobby.
Guess who's looking to settle some scores! π«ππΌ

Hi! As an author, I am equally tired of being tamed by capitalismβs lust for commodifying the self and Christianityβs delusions of certainty. Iβm here because Iβve heard it might be a friendlier place for the increasingly feral, like me.
Time to roar, and share small joys, like these fishes.
