for i am put together with stardust...

i am stronger than a sepik crocodile, more cunning than gideon's three hundred, more powerful than david's five stones, brighter than the thunderbolts of zeus. i can change lives, resolve injustice, reverse poverty, inspire hearts and minds, connect kindred souls. i can make laughter and inspire singing, persuade lovers to find each other, strangers to make friends, and enemies to make peace. i can move mountains.
---Patricia Raybon, My First White Friend---

sometimes i wish
i could have held his broken body in my arms
just so i could believe this is real.

and a poem for the day:
santa anas
second summer
clothed in warmth
and sunshine
can this be
october?
