Kasaria
She’d languished in emotional oppression. When would it end? It was a question she always asked. She’d fought the longing, and longed to fight. Then it happened… waking with memories not her own and too many questions. Touched by magic, … Continue reading
Climbing
She’d faltered, fallen, her soul pummeled, plundered, yet she remained, wounded, broken inside, but not ready to die within. Always climbing, ascending, her heart ragged, jagged, yet she continued on, haggard, because within was more than imagined. ©September 2014, June … Continue reading

Self-Examination in a Time of Historical Change
In the midst of colossal, historic events I’ve retreated, not from the news, but to a place where I could learn and reflect (and also continue lockdown). My reflections first focused on myself, but later on my writing. Was I … Continue reading
Polly Chromatic
They called her Polly Chromatic, though it wasn’t her name. They said her real name didn’t matter, making one up was just the same. They didn’t count on her owning the name or wearing the colors with pride. Far better … Continue reading

Collective Strength
So long dismissed with condescending ridicule, described as unneeded by those who feared. Mistaken for a timid voice of weakness, yet millions of voices know the truth, voices still awaiting their rights. Time to free all of America, heal its … Continue reading
