If I took a lap,
once a leap ago,
and saw nostalgia
once again in their eyes
.
-each time in L.A.
the ‘sixty-seven,
again ninety-two,
twenty twenty-five.
.
It repeats a loop.
How the eyes of hope
light their face, inspired
WITH THEIR FUCKING RACISM !
.
and each time we have -
need to - beat it back
to reset conscience,
empathise and love.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

This is so freaking powerful!
I really felt the mix of nostalgia, anger, and determination here.
