There was so much talk of love: how it feels when we have to be the one to break our own heart, what it is when we are the only one holding a shared love still. There was talk of the true kinds, and the easy kinds, and forgiveness, and self-worth, and the honesty we owe everyone most especially ourselves. There was talk of broken hearts and first loves and the heart things we give title to, and the heart things we never name because we haven't learned the words yet and because we are afraid. There is so much love here, has always been so much love here: I was the first name he spoke, he is the first-born of my first best friend. But this week, we were friends first, huddled together, letting our booming laughter remind our hearts that we are still whole. #rarasaurfamilia #nephewOne #IGuessItIsntTerribleThatTheyGrowUp
What do I do for fun? Oh you know, normal things. I like to read, bake, go to museums. I like to stand on stages-- shaking and near-crying-- to tell strangers about the toilets that milestoned my journey through incarceration and widowhood. I could just keep it all to myself, I suppose... but there's already been so much waste. #DaPoetryLounge was a tremendous experience. I am awed by the voices I heard, renewed by the listening I witnessed. 🙏🏾 #AboutLastNight #DPL #OpenMic #Poetry #LosAngeles #PoemIsPrayer #SackNasty #FelonWidowBlogger #LiterallyEveryMetaphoricalSpoonTho
Hospital lighting is so in right now. Also trending: ambitious sweating and misbehaved hair. #SheHasColorInHerCheeks #EGBO
I don't normally post pictures of food but the guys at @vientoyaguacoffeehouse made this #keto plate happen for me quickly and affordably, and I'm so grateful I could cry. #ThisIsLB #LongBeachCA #VientoYAgua #ketosnack #helpers #magic #FeedMeImTrying
Purple flags, walls, dads, catching feelings, dodging poop, deep wells, basically science, rock band names. I'm gonna kidnap @thesarahfader . Shhhh.
I know I flooded all the feeds with this, but I wanted to post it here too because Instagram is my virtual scrapbook. Long Beach has been kind to me-- a godmother, a medicine, a home. I'm honored to be a small part of the literary scene and I'm so looking forward to the good work we're graced to do. #LongBeachPressTelegram #LocalNews #PoetryScene #ThisIsLB #LongBeachCA #CreativeFriends
Happy birthday to all of us, especially Marianne who is born in October!
It's been a long day, a strange one-- one full of kindness. It's been a long life, a strange one-- one full of kindness. I'm just gonna rest my eyes for a minute.
Big sis is a babe. #sisterdate #RarasaurFamilia

Ra Avis

Ra lives and loves in Los Angeles and the internet, where frightfully wondrous things happen. She is a once-upon-a-time inmate, a reluctantly-optimistic widow, an exponential storyteller, and also basically a dinosaur. Her story is a long one, but the short version is she (probably) loves you.  @Rarasaur
