Spin Cycle
It’s 10:15 pm, raining, cold and dreary. A typical night in Chicago in September. I’m on a metal bench sitting outside Wash 4 Coin on North Magnolia Ave, formerly Wash U Coin, until it got sold. After a good downpour, The air is crisp and clean. I love it. What ruins the mood is that I’m stuck doing about three weeks' worth of laundry on a Saturday. Long story short, the smell made me want to vomit. So here I am, with six sizeable trash bags full of my clothing, towels, bedding, etc., waiting for a washer to be available.

This is part 2 of a collaborative piece done by my Facebook writers group: Saloon for Writers. We do these fairly often and they are lots of fun, challenge us as writers, and allow us to tackle an issue that's both informative and important. If you would like to see part 1 by Oredolapo A Roberts. Please enjoy this poem focusing on suicide prevention!

Moonlit Night
Grief is painful; it's the most painful thing ever to experience. There isn't a timeline for processing the loss of someone you love; sometimes, the scars become rough scabs that cause discomfort, and others, they are wounds that fester endlessly. My grief is slow and torturous, taunting me as I lie in bed at night. The relentless images attacked my psyche, pounding the loss into me over and over. It was a constant reminder that she was gone forever. When things are too heavy, I turn my attention to the majestic tapestry of the night sky decorated with stars and the moon.
