on the roughest days they
turned up the radio
hoping joie de vivre might
rub off. the no knock warrants of mood
and memory
how lucky
to be alive

life after cancel
long days on the beach
picking fights with invertebrates
up and down like a sandpiper
marking the shoreline
erased by the tides
#katyamills
geolocation
out from under
hundreds of miles of cassette tape
and wires. useless and bound by
an ethos of noninclusivity they
patched it together they
sang they own wobbly
song til someone
came around

mineral green her eyes
the color of the river
Nile. over middle earth
to the sea she moved
the world in sultry
malachite

once upon a time in april
we got free phones free
shots in the arms waiting
in lines. we got sun rays we got fools
days without showers we
got flowers #katyamills
off the coast of friendship
we could tell the future
by the birds gone quiet
a change in the winds
our energy jumped
full of dread we shouted out!
like we gonna perish
then the storm subsided
left our faces wet and salty
lush and flush 4 the sunshine
#katyamills
faith.less
known more
4 the absence of faith
than faith
they followed a feeling
bought a taco
4 a hungry
kid

grew up white ina world
where nobody hurt you like
you hurt yourself where if you
got any color and spirit you
got beat down now how can it be
any wonder in the world
today white is unpopular
distrusted despised?

laserfiching with blueprints
they mapped out grand plans
thanking all gods

tail end of the nightmare pandemic
an extended slow mo hug was greater
than any antidepressant stronger than
any drug #katyamills
