I sat there singing her
Songs in the dark.

She said,
“I do not understand
The words.”

I said,
“There are
No words.”

— Langston Hughes, “Songs.”

Long Weekend

People are blowing things up outside in order to celebrate independence. I once celebrated by holding a firecracker in my hand. Be advised against this.

Stay safe, dear people.
