‘Race and racism is a reality that so many of us grow up learning to just deal with. But if we ever hope to move past it, it can’t just be on people of color to deal with it. It’s up to all of us – Black, white, everyone – no matter how well-meaning we think we might be, to do the honest, uncomfortable work of rooting it out. It starts with self-examination and listening to those whose lives are different from our own. It ends with justice, compassion, and empathy that manifests in our lives and on our streets.’ — Michelle Obama

Life is a complete conundrum. In retrospect we think “there were things I could have done differently”. But it’s really nothing we can change which is already gone. My Mom always says “ you can’t trip off anything that is behind you”. However, I can’t stop pondering on the what ifs..

I want nothing more at this very moment but to speak to you. Not for me to speak with no clear acknowledgement but with a transient response to every word spoken. I miss you. It was easier in the pass when I was in a dreaming state existence. I am now awakened and finally feeling and trying my best to accept things. I know in my heart of you saw me at this very moment you would say " Nigga stop crying and grind this shit the fuck out". I remember being "the new kid to the neighborhood" but you always had open arms to me. I feel so fucked up about me being away and not being there for you. You protected me from the tender age of 9 all the way to the age of 19. At that point I was the protection. It's so much more that I would like to say but this is clearly not the platform to do so...So! I will end this with a simple "I love you". Rest easy Big Cousin and Happy Birthday!

“I crave so much more than just a physical connection. I crave words and depth. I crave who you are and where you came from, your desires and fears. I yearn to know every inch of you beyond the surface.”

REAL LINGO!
here for you
if I am here only as a rescue
a respite from the parched dryness of your bed
the echoing silence
no eyes to contact the dearth of other skin
so be it
you are worth any increment of my life you choose to inhabit.
I am here
I’m in it for me too
