Folding a fear in me
Brings rain if it’s 
Increasing by another fold

Beyond the Body

Bodies can be fragile, fickle things. 
Fearful of what the future may bring. 
A pretty face may be fine in bed
If behind the face, you know the head.

We mourn atop skyscrapers
As our forefathers
Mourned amongst baobab trees in Uganda
Because we have been forsaken,
It is judgment day,
And we’re fearful.

Til dimly thickens, fearful
Who's pout's threat, shakes
Sky's, the spell breaks.
