Old writing on my new website

Paraphrasing my favorite soul music group the New Birth, my new website ain’t a big thing, but it’s growing. I’ve been tweaking and adding to it almost every day since it went live. One addition is an unpublished poem I wrote probably the day after Michael Jackson’s death, A Cry over Michael. The Twin Cities Pride Festival was that weekend, and Michael Jackson’s music was playing everywhere there. I read this poem during my appearance at the Power to the People Stage, a performance space at the festival created by and for BIPOC queer people.
