A vein in me narrows a little bit every day,
I have tethered myself to shallow promises;
strengthened my organs of clay,
and deceived them to believe
Forever is either momentary bliss or death.
But then I heard a call in the blinding dust, echoing;
I saw you assembling pieces of my skin,
meaningless, disintegrated, ignored-
And sewing them up considerately;
A new form generating in creases of cordial hands;
a miracle stitched up all together,
by an artist devoted to life.

Have you heard the Panther’s roar?
A sickly sweet odor.
He traps his prey in his paws,
devours them with beastly jaws.
Have you heard the Panther’s roar?
Lures his prey to the fore,
feasts fiendishly with gusto
as the dying beasts bellow.
Have you heard the Panther’s roar?
Three torpid days, he’ll snore.
Appetite he can’t sate.
Constant hunger is his fate.
Have you heard the Panther’s roar?
Cursed to his center core,
He desires the Demon Dragon
who resists his cloying beckon.
Have you heard the Panther’s roar?
He requires so much more.
Dragon eludes him despite his feat.
He’ll never taste the other white meat.

Black Holiday Taunt
By Valerie Odom
December 24, 2016
Another year’s gone by,
Another holiday look how time flies
Another lie programmed into my brain
But this year I’m awake
Tryna break off the chain
They just want you either for your money,
For your history, or for your vote
The government tries to control and divide us,
Diced up like peppers, ready to kill us and bribe us
I ain’t celebrating no holidays
What’s President’s Day got to do with me?
Thank you for the days off though
But I ain’t with all that negativity
It’s another year marked of lies today
And things just aren’t going your way
Look at me crazy but kill me if you want
Get used to our power because this is our Black Holiday Taunt.

A bulging extremity,
a feminist integrity,
a swaggering centipede,
the cops arresting me,
my dick the right size,
the bang coming out of your eye's,
the sensitivity upon demise,
the dew and dripping from the sky's,
the eagerness of eloping,
the magnitude of doping,
the honesty of groping,
scattering scorpions glowing and scoping.
