sedoka cluster

lunch 

with a group 

of lawyers...

finding beauty 

in a simmering pot

of collard greens

.

group of men 

out in

the parking lot

in between coughing

from cigarettes 

they shoot 'the shit' 

.

noodles cooked

too long...

no one speaks

after the argument

about the personality

of Trump 

.

under

the curve 

of a cool moon 

the Black and Latino communities

are heavily targeted 

with political misinformation

.

under 

a weeping willow 

re-reading "Jane Eyre" 

for a peek into 

the lives 

of white women 

.

deliciousness 

of summer sausage

making the choice

to stay

inside the house—

the sun's heavy heat

.

summer akebia...

how often

i write down 

certain things 

in this 

aged diary
