Tim, your rendering of Bob McNeil's wonderful piece is just perfect. My hat is off to both the artist and the performance.

Spread Your Wings

A true story of overcoming domestic violence

A Suvivors Story

Tim Staley’s mellifluous voice is perfect for verse reading. He made these modest words from my book (https://www.flexiblepub.com/compositions) come alive on his Las Cruces Radio program. If I could use every synonym for the word thanks in all known languages, my need to praise him would still desire more words to express unflagging gratitude. Thankfully, his show will make people aware that my single-author anthology's sales fund the National Alliance to End Homelessness.

Text to Resurrect Revolution

Countee Cullen
And I are of this consensus:
Prejudice drafts psychopaths.
Their warpaths
Transfix our people to many a crucifix.
There resides the reason why
My protest must never relax
From typing its attacks.

Addressed to your psyche,
My compositions are microphones for
Emmett Till, Michael Griffith,
Yusef Hawkins, Amadou Diallo,
Sean Bell, Ramarley Graham,
Trayvon Martin, Darius Simmons,
Jordan Davis, Renisha McBride,

Eric Garner, et cetera,
Et cetera, et cetera.

Addressed to your psyche,
You can hear the murdered entreat:
“Don’t allow another name to join
A homicide report sheet.
Don’t allow another name to join
A homicide report sheet.”

Addressed to your psyche,
The compositions
I’ve written are parts of a bulletin,
The passages transmit
To our terra firma’s retina.

Addressed to your psyche,
My protest wants life

To evict the combustive
And discriminative.
If armed with you,
Lawfulness will live.
