I miss you Alexis. I”m sorry for whatever it is that I must have done to you to drive you away. Please lets talk, I”m not what you think. I’ve even gone to counseling and worked on my inner demons. we can meet with a therapist over skype if you want. I just want you to know I love you, and I’ll do whatever is needed to have you back in my life again.

old photographs

On my desk is a photograph of you taken by the woman who loved you then. 

In some photos her shadow falls in the foreground. 

In this one, her body is not that far from yours. 

Did you hold your head that way because she loved it?

 She is not invisible, not my enemy, nor even the past. I

 think I love the things she loved. 

Of all your old photographs, I wanted this one for its becoming. 

I think you were starting to turn your head a little, 

your eyes looking slightly to the side. 

Was this the beginning of leaving?

For Alexis In My Awkward Way I’m Sorry and I love You

I made soup tonight, with cabbage, chard and thyme picked outside our back door. For this moment the room is warm and light, and I can presume you safe somewhere. I know the night lives inside you. I know grave, sad errors were made, dividing you, and hiding you from you inside. I know a girl like you was knifed last week, another set aflame. I know I lack the words, or all the words I say are wrong. I know I’ll call and you won’t answer, and still I’ll call. I want to tell you you were loved with all I had, recklessly, and with abandon, loved the way the cabbage in my garden near-inverts itself, splayed to catch each last ray of sun. And how the feeling furling-in only makes the heart more dense and green. Tonight it seems like something one could bear.

Guess what, Dad and I finally figured out Pandora, and after all those years of silence, our old music fills the air. It fills the air, and somehow, here, at this instant and for this instant only —perhaps three bars—what I recall equals all I feel, and I remember all the words.

Once Upon A Time...

there was a nurse and nursing instructor named Erika, who loved her patients and students and interacting with them. But then, technology struck and left Erika and her colleagues, unable to provide the best care due to glitches. It was a glitch that caused Erika to lose her husband due to a missed medication allergy , that prompted her to leave the bedisde and plunge into the tech world. She spent a year learning programming languages and found her spot in UX, where she discovered a world that combined her skills at active listening, finding solutions to problems, education and making things work in ways that make you work smarter not harder (amazingly, just like being a nurse) , would ensure that what her patients interacted with, put simply, 'just worked.'

Independence Day

Nov 3rd I decided to finally report my rape. Many people will say I shouldn’t announce it, but I'm tired of being raped a second time by victim shamers and those that think it all to sordid to speak of. I was raped by the man I loved and trusted and then believed him when he said no one would believe me. I am taking back my power from him and reclaiming myself. I have faced nasty words and threats from his friends and family but I stand strong in my decision.
