and when we speak we are afraid
our words will not be heard
nor welcomed
but when we are silent
we are still afraid
So it is better to speak
remembering
we were never meant to survive
― Audre Lorde, The Black Unicorn: Poems
Seasonal Verse
These holidays are
gaps in the crust of life. The
latent squeezes through.—KM (@mackenzian)
