With or Without You
With or Without You With or without you, morning still arrives, The sun still finds the window and the world still comes alive, The birds don’t know our story, the clouds don’t know our pain, And somehow every sunrise says that life begins again.

A former student assaulted two girls yesterday
A former student assaulted two girls yesterday in the woods, without a soul to hear not even from the adjacent trailer; they screamed in douleur, fear muttered from their slurred words, girls drugged with tabs, trippin bad—mad beaten and maimed— a young man actin like his ol man aye. Take it like a real woman , he ravaged like a primal beast before his boon, his humanity shot, discardin these girls in a parkin lot, caught by twelve in his trailer lot.

BONES DON'T LIE
BONES DON’T LIE A Pathway Worker’s Song Intro Yesterday I wrote something that came from a deep place, a place shaped by the world I grew up in, and the world I chose instead. This piece is about extremism, autonomy, migration, ancestry, and the human road. It’s about refusing to go backward, even when the culture around us tries to drag us there. The photos included are the quiet moments that inspired it, pauses, breaths, shifts.
