The Sieve and My Anarchy

A collection of poems written between the ages of 30 to 35; a myriad of emotions scribed between my time in Charlotte, NC, and my move to Los Angeles. Verses penned a year after my first bout with cancer while still recovering from a previous forbidden love; all coinciding with my stint in law school, and my dalliance with a young hip-hop artist who slammed into my life3/4 and my heart. "In my 30s I still thought I knew things. I believed anything was possible and that time could heal wounds3/4 smooth... without leaving a scar... and even if it couldn't, there was always the option of a tattoo; one that could display a better visual and a curated experience, demonstrative of a measure of control and the retelling of a beautiful pain."
