Question for other men: If it’s a “gender war,” then who are the aggressors, and who’s acting in self-defense? In your heart, you know the answer.

Rose season in SC reminds me my grandma passed 10 years ago this month. I miss her & her pink rose bushes a lot these days. Grateful to Shade Literary Arts for publishing “A Briar, a Bramble” & to hold space for the grief, love & lessons blooming in the years since. Happy #NationalPoetryMonth 💛💐✨

Screenshot of Kinard’s full poem “A Briar, a Bramble” now live at Shade Literary Arts, against a cream background. Link in Kinard’s bio.

Text reads: “A Briar, a Bramble by Willie Lee Kinard III

When the spiderwort took over / for Grandma's roses, I found grace / to be a memory. A gift specific to one. / I counted loss as nothing but reminders / forgiveness pricks best in the present, / regret grown fresh, a briar, a bramble / each ungloved morning. Not enough / to love your blessings; you've got to care / for them too. It was a nest of roses / learned to tend, my soul a winged witness / unprotected from inaction. What's a bird / to a startling flight from daydream? / What's a daydream but flower-figuring / fight? It's not a dream the forest of roses / belongs to the ego now, its bruises long shed, / its wrappings, its eight-legged blues a wildness / I didn’t realize I backed out of seeing.”

Fibro suspicions being confirmed while allergies are in full bloom means spontaneous flares of rashes, aches & muscle spasms. I’m grateful for better know-how on managing the symptoms frfr but false spring being an opp was literally not on my bingo card for this year.
