    A Private Symphony

    When deep breaths are like swallowing hurricanes that stir up in your stomach like roller-coasters and leave you holding on to jagged tooth remains of your invisibility call upon the deliverance of notebooks and journals or the speedy salvation of the keyboard make them your masterpieces Those days When you feel like quarter notes beaten… Continue reading

    The Invisible Woman

    November, 2001 The dust particles flying from the duster floated slowly off the boxes, strangely reminiscent of the worst terrorist attack to occur in the United States. Each set seemed to align themselves parallel to the others, and tilting dangerously off the Brooklyn Brownstone as if to mock her. The coming of dawn splashed its… Continue reading

    Pretense

    “They think this thing is some kind of façade. Don’t know what a real man is so they think you’re a God to me. Mistaking the heavenly embrace of your arms for wings cuz I told ‘em I’m willing to fly away with you.” Continue reading

    Solitude

    Probably one of the best descriptions of depression I ever read. Had to share:   “She felt so old, so worn out, so far away from the best moments of her life that she even yearned for those that she remembered as the worst… Her heart of compressed ash, which had resisted the most telling… Continue reading

    The Ancient Proverb Weekly Challenge – Erase

    This post is part of the Ancient Proverb Weekly Challenge. The quote is a Spanish Proverb and is inspiring to me because it reminds us that everyone makes mistakes, and that sometimes the second, third, or fourth time doing something can produce the better result. Writing then is not about doing it right every time,… Continue reading

    Raking Leaves

    The trees are not ashamed of their nakedness. They have stepped out of their summer wear, short sleeved leaves that now lay idle upon the course concrete. Some have managed to fall upon the now stiff soil in hopes the dirt may integrate them back into the earth and they be born again by way… Continue reading

About Me

My name is Yecheilyah (e-see-li-yah), and my work confronts historical erasure and advocates for a more inclusive understanding of Black history. Through my literature and poetry, I uncover and preserve the rich, often underrepresented stories of African Americans. I also host an annual poetry contest.
