Not From Here
By C Jyl Parker
Those people there driving their car
Said they’re really not going too far.
I hear they’re from here,
And just to be clear,
When I asked them, they said that they are.

Whispers of the Soul: The Journey of a Poet's Heart
In the quiet corners of Evergreen City, where the echoes of life reverberate through the streets, there lived a poet named Aryan. His soul was a canvas, and his words were the brushstrokes that painted the tapestry of his existence—a tapestry woven with threads of love, longing, and the eternal quest for meaning.

Spectating
I can't imagine dying like this, in a place like this; on a cold, dirty pavement with rush hour traffic screaming by and a crowd looking on while paramedics struggle to find space to move. Who could? Deep down we all think there should be a reason, a moment of clarity... or a family presence, at least. For this man, this boy, the rail thin woman lighting a cigarette in a faux fur jacket will have to do - she's been here since the start, her eyes tracking the movement of my shoulders as we fight to keep him on the right side of the line.
