DTLA STANDS TALL

LA stands tall amidst the pandemic and the SoCal wildfires. This is Lakers nation!

Hello 2018!

What better way to end

the first day of 2018

with this ball of fire in the sky

this side of SoCal.

-January 1st, Twenty Eighteen

Shower of Whispers

​You speak in whisper-

Loud words in soft voice

As the winds sing in tune

With your face all aglow.
Chimes join the chorus

As tiny drops of rain

Gently hit your skin…

My skin glimmers with yours.
The joy you bring;

The love you share;

Is that magic all over again

Each time you come near me?

Skid Row

How can I ignore (when)

Out in the streets,

Many remain without a home?

Each tent

Lives a man

Encaved in hope (that)

Someday he’ll make it and

Survive.

“Hello, Baby Doll!”

Out in the open they greet

Moans in between their yellow teeth.

Each time I walk to work,

“Lady love,” they yell and smirk.

Endearing but I got no time to play.

“Sweetheart,” they say.

So goes my day.
