#9R first project is a collaboration between Maryann Martinsen, author extraordinaire and Ben Mayianda, founder of Africa Humanitarian.

Surrounded by familiar faces with no names-none of them know me or want to share my pain. They only wish to bask in my light, then fade away

God is a thought, God is an idea, but its reference is to something that transcends all thinking...beyond the category of being or nonbeing.

Today is the day I know is coming. The change is coming. I felt so lonely, now I'm becoming the one I wanted.

In the middle of the vortex. The wind picked up. Shook up the soot from the chimney pot. Into spiral patterns of you, my love.

Your lips, my lips, apocalypse. Go and sneak us through the rivers. Flood is rising up on your knees, oh please. Come out and haunt me.
