#music #miguel #caosalbum

Lovelyyy

Ahhh so pretty 😍

Np 😌💜

You deserve it! You’re awesome 👏🏽

One day, I will return.
Because there’s a pull in me I can’t explain without my voice catching.
A longing that feels older than my name.

As African Americans, many of us carry a phantom desire—to go back.
Back to Mississippi.
Back to Alabama.
Back to Africa.

It’s not nostalgia.
It’s memory.

They can be really intimidating too. 😋

Yes! I agree!

I love your piece! It reminds me of Jamaica Kincaid’s novel “A Small Place” where she dives into the concept of tourism.

The poem: 🫵🏽
Me: 👀

😂😂 I like 2nd Person POV especially in poetry. It feels personal.

Some poems don’t whisper, they warn.

The 2nd person address is confrontational but the poet deliberately avoids naming the guilty, meaning 76 years later there is still terrible truth and relevance in this poem.

“Do not feel safe. The poet remembers.”

That’s up to 290 million fake “people” posting, liking, and arguing online. No wonder it feels so loud out here. 🧠💬

Now I’m gonna side-eye every comment I get on insta (unless I know them) 😂 but have you counted Threads, too? Beautiful poem btw 💜

Ouch…my feels 🥺👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I miss the old internet at times,
when the stakes were low and
the tender tangible essence of real
people…not a single nonexistent entity
pretending to like you, and connection was free and not so—

distant…

#poetry #thoughts #freethought #poem

the room cooled—
silence thick
with withering scorn
s t r i k i n g the heart;

an ocean of sorrow
c a r r i e d
in wounded hands.

watching
a leaf cartwheel
in the cul-de-sac
with the giggle of
my children
laughing on a
nostalgic breeze

look at me mommy
is a vivid memory
with the power
to make me smile
despite the chill
of this current
world

she learns that
romance is everlasting

A faded 2-page newspaper spread lies atop a greyscale sketch art image of a cicada. The newspaper spread includes various images, an assortment of random headline titles, and illegible article columns. Black, upper-cased text is overlaid in the center of the collage that reads: SUBMISSIONS NOW OPEN (in regards to the Black-Ink-Ocean literary magazine).  There is a black arrow pointing to the right with text above it that reads: Swipe to see Issue 0 theme and find out how you can be featured

A dark red backdrop with pale red filigree design creating a rectangle border. White text in the center reads: ISSUE 0 THEME: Vampirism There is an ancientness to the vampire that I believe connects heavily to the grandness of the American South. There is something to be said of legacy, of living forever, tracing back to one’s origins, and giving birth—rather, name—to something new. Not every story or poem or piece of art has to be ravenous or in seek of wine. BUT, it must get at the heart of the issue: A desire to understand oneself and one’s community by both glancing back at the past and looking forward towards the future. @ blkinkocn

A black backdrop with dark grey filigree design creating a rectangle border. White text in the center reads: ISSUE 0 SUB-THEME: Origin Where does love & life & light begin for the southern vampire? Where does it end? Across history legends have persisted of the vampire—creature of darkness with a thirst for blood. As of recently, stories such as Interview with a Vampire, Sinners, and The Ravenous Fate have brought the vampire to root and roam on southern soil, and through this newsmag I intend to keep him here. Tether him to something tangible and accessible to the masses. @ blkinkocn

A deep maroon backdrop overlaid with the brand logo: An ocean of black ink enclosed within a glass bottle with a cork-top turned over onto its side. A large, dark mast of a ship battles against the tide. The bottom half of the bottle is missing. The white text below it provides information on the social media accounts and email address for BLACK-INK-OCEAN PRESS & MAGAZINE, reading: Stay in the know, following BIO on social media Instagram & Tiktok @ blkinkocn  Bluesky @ blackinkocean.bsky.social Email blackinkoceanpress@gmail.com We are excited to hear from you!
