Black August

I.

Hooded eyelids under heavy lashes
doin’ the rain dance like she’s Hopi
Mariah’s a Scientist
I turned a leaf into gold in the silence,
full metal jackets
make her fall in love like rogue leaves,
hypnotizing glances,
divination for a divine creation

Baring it all like a nudist, waistbeads on
— she’s an Erykah Badu-ist
My enchantress, secret romances,
Private vacances, walk down road in rain
I

Twinkle, Twinkle

Gleaming diamonds that dot the skies
Peering through the night with trillions of eyes
Behind crescent smiles, you wink a distant threat 
Oh, faceless gaze, how I wonder what you're looking at

You come with shrouds that cloak our sun
As hellfire burn behind the black you've spun
You weave the constellations like gossamer webs
While in wide-eyed wonder, we meander

The Mirror

As a youngster
I used to pull faces – 
‘just because’ – 
and practiced it in front of the mirror.
This morning the mirror took revenge.

At the rebellious age of thirteen,
I sneaked eyeliner past my mother;
squinting for ages in front of the mirror
to get a fine line in equal lengths.
Now I squint to put in my contacts
