She’s Just Quiet
She's shy. She's quiet. She's ignored.
They don’t see me, so I'll become invisible
They don’t care, they never will
They don’t listen, I won’t speak
They don’t understand, I won’t explain
So I’ll just sit here, with my pen and pad
I’ll lay all my words down in ink and hide the pages
They don’t get it, they never will.

The Fish Song
The room didn’t smell like disinfectants. Its fragrance seemed light and not overbearing. A soft mixture of lavender and mint permeated the space. No beeping machines or any tubes hooked up to four-year-old Kaleeka. Her cacao skin seemed to glow from the light over her head. The family, save for one and the doctors and nurses exited the room like a trail of saints showing their last vestiges of regard.
