A Roof Over My Head Without Refuge
When all else fails, home is the one place
a person should run to for comfort.
But I don’t have a home; I haven’t had
one for a while.

The Postcard I Will Never Get to Send to My Hero
It has been well over a decade since your death,
but the truth is, it left me broken for many years.
I feel as if I was robbed of an opportunity to say a proper goodbye.
Some days it felt like I was on a deserted island.

Let Me Rest as a Black Man
i hide in the stairwell at work sometimes to take a breather.
it allows me to take a break from the tax i pay as a Black Man.
i don’t have the pressure of being the white man in that moment…
i don’t have to follow an algorithm.
