Red Sun.

My heart sits inside a box hundreds of miles outside my chest. The sky is filled with smoke. A red sun looks down upon me as I drive into the desert and can only think of you sitting behind white walls alone but not alone left to your thoughts. You call me and say, "I miss you." "Can I call you tomorrow?" "Do you think I'm gonna be okay?" "Do you think I'll go home today?" I hope so.

Kicking off NATIONAL POETRY MONTH & SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS MONTH strong! #StayInAndWrite with us! 3-5pm CDT I'll be facilitating a trauma-informed writing workshop for survivors! The workshop will be in English but all welcome from all time zones! Zoom link in @survivingthemic Instagram bio 💯 Surviving the Mic: Virtually Together is a twice monthly online space dedicated to the perspectives, experiences and artistic expressions of survivors of sexual harm. FIRST & THIRD Thursdays from 3-5pm CST It can be difficult to feel as we have permission to discuss the impact of sexual violence or to even know what resources are still available to survivors during the COVID-19 pandemic, physical distancing that's become necessary in order to protect all of us, and uprisings against violence towards Black people. However, survivors know that the impact of sexual harm knows no limits and may be more deeply felt as people practice physical distancing. Therapeutic practices and other self-care practices may have been disrupted or have become inaccessible. Follow on IG @survivingthemic and @themojdeh (facilitator) and our friends-in-the fight @socialpracticelabs (mutual aid project) #SurvivingSocialDistance #SurvivingTheMic #TraumaInformed #WritingWorkshop #PoetryWorkshop #SpeakTruth #DomesticViolence #SexualViolence #GenderBasedViolence #SAAM #sexualassault #sexualassaultawarenessmonth #napomo #nationalpoetrymonth #mojdehstoakley #sextrafficking #mmiw #SurvivorsStories #blackpoetsspeakout #blm #poetsofinstagram #poetsofig #writersofinstagram #childhoodsexualabuse #childhoodabuse #writingtogether #quaruntine #writingchallenge #womenwriters https://www.instagram.com/p/CNHyQ0QhVCn/?igshid=w5v6u7274f4g

I placed lines of sugar water on my porch You, the butterfly Came for a drink. For around a year, you visited every morning And lingered inside the house for hours. It started off good– I would even call it great But one day, everything turned right-side-up And soon I’d never know what to do Next after sex. I already memorized how you inhale from your chest. We became an eclipse that never fully lapsed. And sure enough, One day I decided to put out salt water on my porch. When you came for your routine drink I looked at you, the moth. You saw me peering from my window. You flew away And I became ok with knowing that I’d never see you, in any form, again

Your name won't haunt my lips anymore, your eerie voice won't keep me up, you were just a ghost looking for someone to posses, a house to haunt, while I was looking for a home to share, but being alone is better than being owned, so you can't haunt this home.

I banish you

Inspired by @avolitorial again: half a world away. There is a magic about the world we live in now that doesn't always get enough love. Many of you are half a world away from me, but we can still join our hearts together though all kinds of art forms. It is truly amazing. #poem #poetry #spilledink #spilledthoughts #amwriting #poemoftheday #poemeveryday #napowrimo #napomo #nationalpoetrymonth #poetrymonth #handwritten #handwrittenpoem #handwrittenpoetry #halfaworldaway #prompted #prompt #distance #hearts https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv7uhvuBNLF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13vcqoj9bzc1x
