"The desire for historical 'objectivity' has led many scholars over the years to miss what, in my mind, is the larger goal of the study of slavery: deep engagement with the individuals harmed and destroyed by that vile institution."

"The thing to do when life seems all a-topple is
To run and hide oneself in the metropolis."

--Anthony Burgess, Byrne (1995)

Just recursive colors trying to trick your brain.

"skinshark at twelve o'clock"

crowded night sky · tarot delivered
by owls · intermittent inkdrops
cerulean roads · rise like reveries
of the inland ocean · i ask crows
to murmur me back · their matchless silence
under the gaunt gaze · of gathered waters

Throbbing trapezoids.
