In Jamaica I’m preparing to find sacred medicine to allow me to access the spirits. Gathering roots and herbs for the journey I find myself trying to negotiate a deal with a local community determined to keep the outside world out of their lands. They realize I’m not a part of the invading colonial forces.Continue reading “Dream”

Running with my nose to the ground, trying to catch the scent of the rest of the pack. The scent of blood and gunpowder hits me as I am struck with anger and fear. What I find is the whole pack has been killed. Reckless and mercilessly destroyed by those who felt they were aContinue reading “The final straw”

When the sun comes up to chase away the shadows of the night, there’s a change of guard. During the shift change the night watch passes on incidents that need to be documented. Sometimes the events are wild and fantastic, sometimes it’s just Eddie being a dick to the new kid because someone had toContinue reading “The Night Shift.”

Stuck in a bowl of lemons and moldy cheese. Never thought this is the life I need. Turn over to find the way from tithe stew of apathy and self hatred. I poor me. I’m all alone. Take pity on me. I made everything miserable and cancer took hold. Left me here with nothing ofContinue reading “Mother”

I’m drinking more than I should, but not sure if it’s enough. I keep losing track of time but I’ve always struggled with time. I spend so much time trying to understand where I’m at, or where I’m at.

I feel pain so that’s real, isn’t it? More Often I ask myself these questions often trying to find logical answers. ScienceContinue reading “Change the channel”

While I sit in bed trying to fall back to sleep, I find my brain still functioning in dream mode. I’m awake but still tapped into the subconscious images. Dried fruit and citrus peels swarmed with flies. A hose left running and splashing on a concrete driveway. Songs like John Lennon “whatever gets you throughContinue reading “Waking dreams”

For the past few days I’ve been struggling to sleep and feel grounded. I kept feeling like someone was calling me. Something needed my attention. Then while looking I find a person on a TikTok video. She’s in pain not only physically but emotionally and spiritually. She was sent into hospice care. She was youngContinue reading “Criss-crossroads”
