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...

Premium Member Disco Music-USPS Stamp
Disco 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 paradise
The 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...

Premium Member The ICE Men Cometh
They 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 Lady
Her 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 lessons
They 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...
