The Wild One
Out comes the storm
In a galloping parade
Of silver and iron
Honour masking the greed of men
In the rattling and dim wilderness
The rituals and the songs
Are ready to be extinguished
By those who rule over gods
And then a fatal sob
Pierces through the still ether
And the keepsakes of ages
Are washed away in a river the colour of...

The PearlHeavy is the head that holds the crown
I desire to be his purple peace
When the world is beating him down
May he know he can come to me
I’ll kiss away your turquoise tears
And block all the negativity
Together we will face white fears
And create consistent chocolate peace
The heart of a man is a priceless Pearl
That...

Disco Music-USPS StampDisco Music
Strobe light looks like moon-sun.
Halo lights of red, blue, yellow, green.
He wears classic Saturday Night Fever white.
She has a white flower in her hair,
head and hips swivel;
one-strapped red dress.
He points with hands over head.
Ballroom floor bittersweet-blue.
Celebration of disco music.
I was dressed in strapless purple.
Burned my bra.
This stamp doesn’t nearly catch
the falderal - not the...

the first paradiseThe First Paradise
We humans are related to the dolphins
not so smooth, that's why we stayed near
sea was shallow
Fruit trees grew near the shoreline and
often apples fell into the sea, which was
as a blessing, and we walked ashore
On dry land, we become aware of our nakedness
and hastily covered our bodies in palm leaves
Flirting and lifting...

The ICE Men ComethThey were never waiting for us girl.
They were one step ahead
though they never had a case.
Between the streets and highways
they would chase
and hunt us down like rats
just to put us "in our place."
MacArthur Park is trending in the news,
all the big bad ICE men going round,
looking for some brown folks to detain.
I don't think that...

Struggle of Being a LadyHer beauty turned to malison and woe,
As ladies, envious, scorn her radiant face,
Their hearts, inclined to rivalry, bestow,
A bitter enmity, her charm’s disgrace.
The world casts down her fortune with its spite,
Her colleagues seethe when she but speaks to one,
The officers and ministers, not right,
Exploit her grace, their honor left...

girls lessonsThey taught me how to bite my tongue,
Before my voice had even sung.
To shrink myself, to take up less
To fold my fire into a dress.
“Be quiet now, don’t make a scene.”
“Good girls stay soft, polite, and clean.”
So I became a silent shape,
A shadow bound in silk and tape.
I learned to flinch before I spoke,
To laugh...
