I’m here, in this terror.
 Blood, blood puddles everywhere
like after a demonic storm of rain, but instead it’s human red liquid .
Splattering,
leaking and escaping.  
More of it appears
at each second .
Tick, splat. Tock splat

All my favorite on-line EarthJustice

and inter-religiously sure
we have all the information

Their ambitions even surround every other person behind their city wall.

Administer discipline with compassion entangled

Edited by: Sparkle Jordan
written: January/2014


 Mary Fields,
(1832-1914).

born a slave,
somewhere in
Tennessee,

on the 
Dunnes
Plantation -

She  became 
the first
African American

the U. S. mail
in 
America -

She was 
a tall
 woman, 
over 6 Ft,

who 
didn't shy
 away 
from 
a brawl
or
two
if need
be -

She rolled 
cigars,

Human life deserves a platform to unfold
Away from straitjackets of pious scrutiny
Whose eyes, ears and hands feel so cold
They reject freedom and project a mutiny  

Born from the scorn society pours on freedom
Curtailing every...

A lot can change in 10 years,
Especially in the reliability of your plumbing,
When it comes to flushing out your system,
In preparation for a Colonoscopy.

It's so simple,
So basic,
Yet we lack it.
Interaction is nothing without it.
Unable to make a bond because the fact is,
We've missed the point.
The point that connects you and me,
And not just on a family tree;
That connects...

Love is a soothing pool,
to dive in, 
a lifeguard that calls you below, 
to drown in- it's visage like an Angel-Siren, 
that sings of Myth and Hero (?Chyren?)
 
Love is hopes wind that fills your...

O Pacific, I Miss you

You probably never knew it,
But I once lived within five blocks from you
I and my kids visited you often to play and to view

You consumed us with sea shells, sand castles,...

Can’t understand why a woman’s heart grows so fickle
It labels a man with clean intentions a bore
Treating a player as though from him a miracle
Would elevate her life to polish her social ore

I want us to be friends.

 The wrong of learning the essence of a human

It was something about the way she looked at me.
Just a deep look in her eyes that seemed to call me by my name.

1876-1914

Greetings my friends, 

From this forgotten frump,

This long-dead girl who now haunts

This yawning ghost garden here.

In life, my tongue tasted many terrible lies;

All just worthless words from men,

Men I’d just as soon see dead

There are trickers and lairs.

They fit at some but hide their lies.

Those pretend for relevance all are china
