I’m alive of course
Because others died

Calling on All Silent Minorities
June Jordan

HEY

C’MON
COME OUT

WHEREVER YOU ARE

WE NEED TO HAVE THIS MEETING
AT THIS TREE

AIN’ EVEN BEEN
PLANTED
YET
When I or Else
June Jordan

when I or else when you
and I or we
deliberate I lose I
cannot choose if you if
we then near or where
unless I stand as loser
of that losing possibility
that something that I have
or always want more than much
more at
least to have as less and
yes directed by desire
I have no intention of moving on, ever. I will never love again. I won't even try.
- Stacy in The Madison, S01E02
This 
romance of self
you can't escape, and you don't want to.

Time too is afraid of passing, is riddled with holes
through which time feels itself leaking.

God is Change,
And in the end,
God prevails.
But meanwhile...
Kindness eases Change.
Love quiets fear.

I don’t want to be a person
but there isn’t a choice

- Joshua Jennifer Espinoza
It is
the end of the world, and it’s fine. People laugh
about this, self-soothing engines sputtering
through a nosedive.

Once, I believed god
was a blanket of energy
stretched out around
our most vulnerable
places,

when really,

she’s the sound
of a promise
breaking

A. Melo

in that moment
there was neither longing
nor will—

only the end
of its pretense

then this:
a bird
cutting the air

and I,
for an instant,
mistook it
for an argument
