“Surely the day will come when color means nothing more than the skin tone when religion is seen uniquely as a way to speak one’s soul; when birth places have the weight of a throw of the dice and all men are born free, when understanding breeds love and brotherhood.”

"BRINEMOUTH
i lick the leftover brine
to taste forgetting.
woke up in a skip
wearing a fake tooth
and no memory of kindness.
a toddler called me 'sir.'
i wept into a full-holed bucket.
my inbox is a graveyard
of autocorrected apologies.
today i am mostly
dust and loss."
