pocket size (before)


i enjoy the scent of raw sunsets that litter your mouth…
the scent of images you birth in my thighs; they affect
my walk and I prance lightly…
yesterday…
i bathed myself in sunshine and whispering winds of
how it felt lusting after ur shadow…dead-set on
having you be my life-force.

'untitled II' (after)


i have

planted trees within

my soul…

the accompaniment

of ancient drums

bloom in my aural.

there are faint

sounds of

bitterness walking

along ashy sea-

coasts where

once friendly waters

now lung at me

in hatred.

what was the reason for

me yielding my

i.d. for 30 pieces of silver…

smirkin Judas’s

grope me in

the dark…hands

like sultry disgust, rip

the last bit

of dignity from

my being.

i arise at half past grief

and groan when

my womb aborts many childlike

midnights that

mock me in their

placental juices…when

my eyes embrace images

of freedomic frees that

range from conservative to

extreme.

the

trees planted in

my soul have deferred

from positions of up for

positions of scraping

the grounds…like

old 1920 negro mammies bowed to

the floor beneath the weight

of prejudice.

i will jovially mock me…

i will jovially mock…

i will repeat the

cycle…i

wonder when the

cycle will

release

me?
