Querying is one thing. Querying postpartum with two under two is a special kind of hell. Please tell me someone out there knows this feeling.

#Poetry is medicine.
First, brew it for yourself. Then, share it with others who might need it.
Refuse to edit? Can't brew a potent potion. Can't heal yourself.
Refuse to share? Can't spread your medicine. Can't support others just by existing.
Keep writing. Keep editing. Keep sharing.

#Abstraction is not only
a safety net
for our too-real details,
it is also
a megaphone
for our too-complex emotions.
Some wounds
bleed art
to heal.

As someone with a relative in forensics, I know too well that people #shoot and stab each other this time of year. Turn on local news, suicide and murder. Turn on world news, starvation and genocide. It may not seem like enough to just eat and #survive today, but it is.

Some people don't want to bring kids
into this greedy, heartless world.
Every generation plays #successor
to the problems of the last.
But children are more than
the dysfunctions they inherit.
Those small, curious eyes:
irreplaceable beacons of hope.

Motherhood
and activism
both sometimes
feel like a #soliloquy
yet both also
give the future hope.

children.
Of all the crimes,
ones with victims.
Of all the men,
the most powerful.

Those inhabiting this dystopia
must have some distraction,
some social, chemical, technological ticket
to #transport them out of the present moment
because this very moment is the only place
where the dystopia can be dismantled.

Sudan.
Zahara's family slaughtered.
Eyes ablaze, she chants,
"Our martyrs are not dead.
They live alongside us."
Is this not #poetry?
Gaza.
A man on a pile of rubble
spray paints in English and Arabic:
"We stay."
Is this not #literature?
