Gun Work
Creativeness arises in the wake of destruction.
A black man stared at his tablet. Then he began to write his play.
“The mass shootings must stop!” He shrieked. His neighbor banged on the ceiling to indicate for him to be quieter.
He was undeterred. He began writing again. He powered through ten pages of material.
He asked himself why there were so many mass shootings. He wondered about the number of bystanders gunned down by these assailants. He read aloud his play and powered through another ten pages.
He used a vaporizer and struck through the errors on the page. He looked at his smartwatch with precision.

Breath issued from Angelica’s mouth. The weight of the baby put her into her chair. Her curves managed to say she had not been with child the whole time. There seemed to be a fantastic ideal swimming somewhere in her mind about the hazards of caring for two. She grabbed a magazine and fanned herself, knowing that she expended more energy in that effort sitting still and letting the air conditioning do the job. No, she told herself, without struggle there is no triumph. She switched on the television set. The picture looked as people had been replaced by blue aliens and she just watched her soap opera, void of extraterrestrials for this time.

Affection and Healing for Yourself
During the night of the last quarter moon, I gathered my ritual supplies. I carefully handled the chunk of black tourmaline that would protect me from your overall negative and narcissistic energy. I carefully walked the house with my stick of selenite in hand, asking the universe to cleanse our working space.
