Enrolling as a pirate is much harder than it seems, You’ll need to speak in present tense and chase your wildest dreams.

She walked with dreams in her gentle eyes, A future lit beneath morning skies. But shadows crept where light should stay, And stole her breath, her hopes, away. Sawera’s name, now etched in pain, A flower drowned beneath the rain. Not by fate, not by some twist, But by hands that evil kissed. What justice lies in silence kept? While mothers grieve, and sisters...

Violence, a physical behavior intended to hurt someone. Violence, the strike from his hand to her face. Violence, the screamed threats as she cries. I try not to panic. Violence, was it intentional or did he just lash out? Violence, is his word true beyond a doubt? Violence, he tells us that he’s sorry. I try to believe it. Violence, the unlawful act...

Nobody dies but the hearts of barbarism on the worried thrones to save the truth of Scriptures Humanity or civilization The Dome of the...

They said love was tender, so I offered my throat to your ghost-mouth, let your breath curl into mine— viscous as syrup left out, subject to the shape of its jar. Your bombardment of devotion felt like hail, each for your own good sharpened to a fine mother's edge. There was a box you wouldn’t let me open, labeled Not Yours, but warm to the touch, and I swear...
