On my way home I watch the water; The rain patters against the shore, And a grey-blue haze erupts, Like a heavy-set cloud seeking friends.

I wake up late. Change into an all black outfit, slap sunscreen on my face and wrap an emerald scarf around my neck. My first bus is late– but it’s always late and I’ve made it a habit of catching the one at 7:44am knowing it will arrive at 7:57am. I run out my house…

My manager thought I was hungover from the night before, because my eyes were puffy and like clockwork…
Letters and Laundry
The house is untidy, My mind is a scattered mess. So I put the sheets to soak And my thoughts to rest.
Excerpts from: The Table Called “cAfrica.”

hiatus III
I disappeared for a moment, didn’t I? I’m not sure what difference it’ll make if I say sorry, so I won’t do that. Although I haven’t been posting characters or new blog posts that doesn’t mean I’m not working on new things.But, I’m back… sort of. I’m currently curating and writing for an upcoming exhibition…
