The Ukrainian Stripper

An Urban Legend of Mutual Sexual Exploitation — We bumped into each other in the city. She was wearing a leopard faux fur overcoat. Her eyelids were thick and painted with a dark violet coat of eye shadow. Her lashes were seductively long, her hair blonde and thick. I was working right in the heart of the big…

Courage

A short poem dedicated to anyone who discovers, speaks, and lives by the truth, no matter what. — Stand up to that bully Hold her hand for the first time Go for the kiss, embrace her fully. Drown yourself in sorrow Let your imagination conjure the worst Feel your bones rattle. Lungs filled with dust. You’ve been here before Vulnerable. Helpless. Trembling you march forward, ready. Speak your truth and let the chips fall where they may.
