Mother to Mother

From the time of conception, we have evolved into this beautiful being,

If fulfilling no other purpose, for God, to nurture and birth another.

For nine months transforming, preparing, and understanding,

CHAPTER 2

     A stocky, puke-yellow, early 50s, black male, average height, a former athlete kind of build, black hair slicked back with pot ash, approaches the lamp table with a greasy, room-temperature bottle of 2/11 malt liquor with the black label. [The silver label 2/11, even the 22-ounce bottles, have been making him throw up too much lately, half the time on an empty stomach, plus the all-day migraines the next day after 4 or 5 bottles.]

     He is shirtless, knife and…

     After a long, damp, cloudy, spring, when the menopausal grey clouds from out west in Puget Sound promised nothing but worse tidings, it's finally summer in Seattle.

     Mid-July, ideal hoe-stroll weather---sunny every day lately, the kind of murder nights where you can wear a regular t-shirt or a wife beater past 10PM and still not trip about being cold---for a change. This sunny afternoon is hot enough for a beer drinker to drink a cold soda between beers.

One Man's Truth......Another Man's Lie

They say the "truth" will set you free. One man's truth is often another man's "lie, fantasy, dream, wish...." The "truth" in today's society seems to be what you can live with......what you can endure.

The truth is not easy and is even harder for one to decipher when approached with that lie. After all most of what we do, who we are, and who we want to be begins with a touch of deception. We live in a world of appearance and image. We…

Thanks for the opportunity to post.
