grape hyacinth grows
in neighbor's yard

my daisies begin
to sprout

our days, longer
now

And in Tehran -

in Tehran, the streets
run red
with
fire

A note card that reads: we are stronger together. In reference to unity and resistance to the current administration regime; in opposition of their fascism. It it light beige wallpaper with various shades and complexions of women who represent a diverse group of nationalities, cultures, from Black, brown, olive and white—-ethnic backgrounds.

History of Haiku: Haiku, originating in Japan, are short poems that express big ideas, they were all about nature and the world around us. Initially written in Japanese, they gained popularity through the famous poet Basho. Today, haiku are penned in various languages worldwide, allowing people to share feelings or moments with just a few cleverly crafted words.

Blood for oil Means nothing to us here Because the bombs Don't fall here Not yet War happens to other people In a land removed from our reality We can watch and shrug As death rains down on beings Who may call God by a different name It won't always be this way Maybe this season, We reap the crops of destruction We have sown for so long Over so many fields When our own families Are buried under rubble Will we then understand the true cost Of such things as a tank of gas?

As a prisoner In a multi-layered prison Of deadly traps And repulsive men guarding our exits I'm leading my fellow prisoners – all of us women As we use our wits and wiles To navigate each trial On a winding path of escape We kill and are killed But we don't stop I wake with a pounding heart J.

Beautiful 🤍

A Thank you card: blush pink background with cursive writing that has tons tiny white lower case thank yous. And in gold bigger letters at the top reads: A million thank yous, also in cursive. @arwashington | #arw-raw #resistor 🖇️

A million thank yous : “we shall overcome.”

If you’ve ever been to England; you will find they are far less theatrical, dramatic and pretentious than Americans. Their comedy is cynical sarcastic; their expressions: blunt. And when they are serious; they do not mince words,as we do. They usually call it like it is.

It’s time we do the same.

Lovely 🤍

I'm Black woman alchemy-manifested grace; ain't fragile, baby. transmuting pain into presence showing up for myself when the heavy world is asking, more. The hurt lives here, yes. But so do li gottdamn it. And I'm not going --nowhere. MS. AWASHINGTON | #ARW-RAW A SOLSEED JOINT | @ARWASHINGTON #BlackWriters #BlackPoets #8AmWrtingClub #Writers

After The Damage

We let-go abruptly
careless with a
colourless aftermath
leaving grief to
leak out later—
#junk tightened
irresponsible talks
amid inflated silence.
whatever might have
interrupted her—us
arrived too slowly—
the moment closed
as mercy missed its cue.

Revolution, Now Televised

To remain revolutionary
thru weathered tombs.
#Limited doubt argued-down
at midnight tear-gas smoke.
We choose the long road while
Punishment circles nearby—
Abide your step when they
Point lethal weapons at your head
Stay; remain steadfast: unafraid.

#emoetry #limited

Smashed Frame

Photographs remain evidence
but kinda feel counterfeit now
like props from a production—
where the actors exited mid-scene
and never returned to finish
their haughty lines.

Not destroyed loudly—
just displaced, beam by beam
until the structure forgot
how to hold itself together.

#vss365 #prompter
#magnanimous

The Collapse

We called the ending
magnanimous!
As if mercy lived in
the slow untruths
as if kindness wore
“face of extinction”.

The earth doesn’t mourn us.
It shrugs our dead skin
reclaims concrete we
poured over its wounds-
dissolves our names
as sediment ash.

mining some ink? spill it

#DECADENT

Blushing

pale sullen light
a garden flourishes
masking loneliness.
Her petals unfurl
decadent aroma—
roots tangled hunger
unaware of weight
that dims delight.
each smile, a sole veil
shielding the ache
beneath shunned
earthy beauty.
