Thunder Woman

…sacrifices with her cancerous-pallors

eating men like air with black sweet blood mouthfuls

there beneath the bloody trap you’ll see

these hoods of bone don’t shine for we.

Lasso the neck for love is gone-

In the house of barn, the calm will come

put down your swords, the battle is won

The jar consumes the chime of the bell…

What is Race?

/

What is race? is it me? is it you? is it a color? is it culture?
What is race? Some say it's a nationality. Some actually believe it's just the color of the skin. But what is race to me? Race is a form of division, a way to separate natural human life and place a stigma upon human individuals. I don't believe in race because in all actuality technically we are but One race which is human. So what is race? My idea of race is a method to form...

Beautiful as I am

/

You were always right
I was always wrong
You were always big
I was always small
You mistook my kindness
for weakness,
but your cruelty didn't make
you strong; 
never let me speak so I learned
to carve myself in silence
writing words on the page instead
but then you didn't want
my silence either
just control—
I've found and reclaimed my voice
will not be a prisoner 
of your nightmares or…

Intrusion

/

Everything I am able to be...
Being alone.
Feeling safe-but also captured in myself.
Isolated but feeling occupied with painful memories. Soldiers who bother me, want to destroy this last tiny willingness to stay in contact with the present. Me.
With the world which is hard and makes you cry but then it dries your cheeks with sunshine and bird chants tell you everything's okay.
But then this kind of world catches you where the pictures are painted with fear, disgust,guilt...and this painful shame.
Shame which forbids to share your history...these experiences you'd hope to be released from.
But you persist and keep quiet. Staying alone.
Because you can't endure the thought to be considered by someone more as...filthy and stained...

My Last Memory

/

In this span of time, between life and not, I am awarded the time to remember it all. 

All those moments which made up my life unravel before me at the speed of light. 

Insignificant are the ticks of days and the tocks of night as the hours chime with memories of smiles and tears and joys and fears. 

If I had to choose only one, which would it be? 

One birthday, a graduation, a wedding, a child’s birth?

No, none of these would suffice to be my last memory of my life.

It would be the moment I cherish most, I remember most, I wish to relive most. . .

It would be the moment I first told you, 

I love you.

Bobby Dope & The D-Zuu-Wabba

/

So I came to this bar it was dark and loud
When I entered the door I was hit by a cloud
It was D-Zuu-Wabba I knew it right away
Sickest dope on the planet straight out of Bombay

A rare dude came to me said he's name was Bobby Dope
White Russian in his hand, long hair and wearing robe
Had he's peak early 80s, nowadays in decay
Then he offered me the Wabba. Holy smoke it made my day

Now the D-Zuu-Wabba maybe not be known to you
It's an Indian blend from a root named D-Zuu
First they chopped it up, then they…

Dead Sex

/

The tip of my knife keeps jabbing the life from the corpse on this night
On the tightrope, I slide to the side where the body I’ll hide
Hanging in plain sight invisible to the untrained eye
“Die, die, die!” I scream and I cry unable to control the words that go through my mind
And the red of the dead blood resting in bed with the body overhead hanging instead of buried where its meant to be
The hurry scared me and impulse scurried
The flurries of snow out the window crawl and build up blocking the light, FUCK! I can’t see shit
I must’ve fallen asleep. Is he still dead? Where would he be?
He’s gone, the rope hangs alone and there’s no clue
I don’t know where a dead man who came back to life would go
Do you?
