Stillness, Sublime
mini poem Monday
sacrifice some time for me still no sublime
sacrifice your mind for me still not sublime
in season where the screen reigns supreme
hail no other reason for you to be keen
on being seen, stick to the hard work
don’t eat at your goals,
control hardens your heart
Through the Spirals
In Time
this goodness?
not glided.
it glides across the skin
rooted deep within
anger fever
yes this anger pitches a fever in my body
Watery Wallows
Watery Wallows- painting finished 7-22-26 Sanai Reign
I stand at the watery wallows wishing the shallow waves wouldn’t rise to my face. Too close to the tide, laying seaside where the waters preside.

Transcending Tenderness
I notice when my body shifts I can feel the tendons tighten under my skin. I practiced perfection, I thought I could polish the pain to form connection. I started becoming a witness, living in liminality. I live like a live wire— unpredictable as a summer rain. I don't hold onto the shame distance carries, though I know not all pain is temporary. I feel like I’m at the edge of existence. Left foot social, right foot unapproachable the Hokey Pokey of disability.

Uterine Conditions
I want healthcare that’s worth more than a
doctor’s stare when I’m suffering. My ancestors are
still seeking freedom through me. The spiritual is
ever developing. Most of the ladies in my family
have uterine conditions. Like endometriosis,
fibrosis, and pelvic varices.
Discomforts Delight ~mini poem Monday
i delight in discomfort
for her claws are curled into my curiosity
