“I wish I could reverse time. If I could, I’d go back and change a lot of things. For one, I’d be a better friend to Dodds.” I rock back on my heels and stare down at the ground. Was I even a friend to him at all? “But, the thing is,” I continue, “we can’t go back.” My voice starts to crack. “That’s life’s greatest punishment. We can’t go back and right the wrongs, fix the mistakes, undo the tragedies, change our minds, make different decisions, unbreak hearts, take back words. All you can do is own your mistakes, forgive yourself, and keep on living.”

“Elegy to Black Panther"
Yibambe, Mfalme, yibambe on your crossing to the ancestral land
Where we imagine the Infinity Gauntlet sitting safely upon your taloned hand.
Rest in power, Mfalme, sleep peacefully, for your earthly battles are won;
The King of Wakanda forever, our most esteemed, Native son.”

“Blood-Stained"
Six minutes, no medics, I gasped as ragged breaths escaped my lungs.
“Hold on, Bre, hold on,” my love pleaded, but I was already gone.
I drowned in my own life’s blood as I heard my love weep for me.
Lord, wake us from this nightmare – we want to go back to sleep.”

“When Dad died, he took all his memories with him. Everything I didn't know about him - every question never asked and every story never told - can never be known now that he's dead. It's like losing your only copy of a book before you finish reading the story, except it's the only copy of the book ever. There's no way to get those pages back.”
