even escapes bleed
with guilt-ridden winds of snow
that just can’t ice him

One at a Time
Parent/teacher conferences. Just met with a Somali mother who told me her daughter and son were not able to attend school until they arrived here four years ago. Now the daughter is set to graduate with a 3.0 GPA while learning English and adjusting to life in a new country after staying home and helping her mother raise six kids for all those years. She wants to be a doctor.
She is human. She is Muslim. She is Somalian. She is America.
Help me help them find a place in our #trumpocracy

Weakening
i want to resist
but sci-fi is on my brain
will it be futile?
Dear Girl Scouts Council,
did you really think
no one would buy the s’mores?
sometimes you don’t plan.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg:
you may be our final hope.
No dying now, please.
Sleepless Moaning
of all the earth’s cats
we got the malfunctioned spay
going nuts in heat
Peaking
march to the mountains
to end historic weekend
and soak up this view
Real Men Are Feminists
empowered futures
begin with activism
when necessary
Battlefront
with small steps we walk
in common our complaining
till we win his war
