Innocence

Innocence
It sees my innocence 
I felt it in its touch 
gripped harder on my shoulder
quivering, beat on pause.
Eyes piercing through my soul

It sees my innocence
standing near the door 
pulling back
harder 
tighter 
it gripped on 
locked door. man on the floor
tears bore drowning in rage 
it sees my innocence 

it stares each second 
it opens and slide into heaven 
sharing a tale about my yoni
and like ungreased wheels 
I screeched
jammed on the rail 
I froze 

He’s love aches 
Oh my Lwazi I hope you never break.
