      On Death Row, There's No Such Thing As Closure

      Aug 2, 2019

      It is August of the year 2000, and I am cold. I know the sun is shining outside, but there are no windows in the courtroom. The lighting is subdued, darker in the back where spectators sit and lighter in the front where tragedies play out—like a the

      Letter From The Pestilence

      Mar 18, 2020

      Ironically, there’s something democratic in our common situation, the way in which we’re all feeling the same fear, the same uncertainty, the same panic, worry, anger, and anxiety. A solidarity, finally. The post Letter from the Pestilence appeared f

      Two Poems

      Nov 1, 2019

      It’s soothing when the newly dead are way older than I am. This guy was 95. His picture—middle-aged, archaic glasses—freezes him somewhere around 1970. But even when they are my age and live in my town and share so many of my habits and interests tha

      Perfection

      Jun 9, 2020

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when

      After “The End”

      Oct 10, 2022

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Fresh Start, New Dream - Tito Cruz

      Slumber

      An island filled with stars that lay in a slumber

      Time is of the essence awake now and enjoy what you’ve been missing.

      Escape the horrors you’ve been facing.

      Imagine no freedom

      Imagine the lack of opportunity

      Imagine if dreams were non existent

      Imagine no substance for wonders

      A place filled with no aspirations

      Do you dare stay in a slumber?

      Neglect what is given and except what is to come

      A life where your star never awakens

      Such a tragedy, a truly awful experience

      One that will create a black hole eating you up till the end

      Don’t sleep open your eyes, allow your mind to create, paint, and discover the world in your image

      Another look

      take a quick glance, you don’t see who they truly are, take a second and read more than just the cover, their story is more than just a few pages, read into every chapter understand who they’re, she is more than meets the eye, what you learn will mesmerize you, her inner beauty illuminates causing you to see her and how truly marvelous she is, more than just a pretty face
