In 2017, I joined steemit, not knowing how much that act would change my life. When hive chain forked from steemit, I followed the train and continued to create content here. Hive …

To prepare, to look the thing in the eye and make demands, to step through the fog into a clarity that is so bright you feel blind, to move a piece across the board and call it vic…

I wrote this piece immediately after seeing the short film titled *THE HOUSE IS BLACK* by Forugh Farrokhzad, an Iranian Poet and film maker. The film reflected the suffering and sa…

I dream of a surplice and plastic plants trapped inside curtains covered by electric lamps. There the room grows big with its ghosts and sleeps. Who will gently open the door …

A lot of persons have expressed their bewilderment at my sudden decision to get married. No one is as surprised as I. Sometimes I sit back and wonder about how I moved from being a…

She's pretty but strange/smooth the skin/the veil/whittled down to smile/to mask the tide/the fever/ the haze/to move inside the flesh like something wrong/the wrong dress/min…

This is more of a meditation on Sunday, on today, on life. I wrote it on an app and for the life of me, I can't seem to be able to copy it. There are things that the beauty of a Su…

Indeed you're so right, my friend @trucklife-family. I have recently discovered how music, surprisingly, classical music, which I didn't bother with before, moves me when combined …

Sometimes this cracked wall turns its blind eyes on me, my body weighted down by the mattress carrying the floor. I dream of a quiet life beneath this world. A life that goe…

I know how morning wakes & makes supple its limbs again, how it rubs the worn down nubs of our sleep & enough static to make light enters our eyes & gently like a prehistoric piece…

The Notcoin airdrop is the largest onboarding event I have seen in crypto, at least in my part of the world. Tailors, bike riders, labourers, mechanics are tapping away on their an…

*Cold & lonely, the wind plays against my skin. It licks the damp foliage of my lips, It takes my breath away. Who dreams of a flower that has drunk beauty in the anguished br…

Today is another day with solitude. The lady is out of the house. I walked with her to the bus stop, took videos of her as she moved. This woman moves. Dust moves in the air like a…

The lady is off to work 👩‍💼and inside the flat is quiet except for the rustle of my breathing, the tapping of my fingers on my phone's keypad 📱as i write this and the sound of chic…

**Content warning: subtle reference to suicide** *** *Eclipsed rain,* *Gather your language into the forest.* *Your lamp languishes into minutes.* *How brief; our laughter fri…
