Fragmented and Broken ~ His Skin

The Ramblings of E.M. Kingston

Part of me is missing, fragmented in myself

I cannot hear my own sorrow, only see my regrets

No smile braces my lips, pursed tight

Not letting words slip, silence

My eyes cry silently, no tears call fall

The bareness of my skin, tells a story of oppression

Do you see me from one side, or the other?

Do you feel my pain in your eyes? I suffer.

Fragmented senses, lacking and slacking

Brought on by myself? No, others.

Only my skin is seen, prejudice…bias

Broken in pieces, disassociation with my roots

My culture attacked, violence ensues

You cannot see past my skin, racist

You cannot make me hear your words

Volunteered deafness, with one eye locked

On the soul that you are lacking, as you define me.

Label me different than pasty…go ahead.

Stop patronizing me, I am broken for you

Because of you… and you won’t stop…

The Bones of Amoret

Publication Date: February 13th, 2022

Genre: Mystery/ Suspense

Amoret, Texas, 1982. Life along the border is harsh, but in a world where cultures work together to carve a living from the desert landscape, Blaine Beckett lives a life of isolation. A transplanted Boston intellectual, for twenty years locals have viewed him as a snob, a misanthrope, an outsider. He seems content to stand apart until one night when he vanishes into thin air amid signs of foul play.

Noah Grady, the town doctor, is a charming and popular good ol’ boy. He’s also a keeper of secrets, both the town’s and his own. He watches from afar as the mystery of Blaine’s disappearance unravels and rumors fly. Were the incipient cartels responsible? Was it a local with a grudge? Or did Blaine himself orchestrate his own disappearance? Then the unthinkable happens, and Noah begins to realize he’s considered a suspect.

Paced like a lit fuse and full of dizzying plot twists, The Bones of Amoret is a riveting whodunit that will keep you guessing all the way to its shocking conclusion.”
