Retreat (fighting fragility) Muay Thai. Kickboxing. Jujitsu. All new. My partner is a hammer, I am the nail. Heat is a teacher. I—the melting pupil. Breath screaming, shirt soaked to skin. Who says yes to this? Then, I move him. Takedown. A violent reversal. A hard bed never so soft. A simple fan, better than […]

The Purge
The Purge (from a fevered prophet) It began with a virus. The voice cracked— then the illusions. Illness wasn’t a curse. It was interruption. A reset. Goals, amputated. Then the spores. A mirror. Staring into my site like it might confess. Saw my soul pop-up. Selling myself— my gift— cheaply. Embarrassingly. Vomited—violently. Not from nausea, […]
