Erasure Poem, Poetry

gazed flower blooming
eye.. llorona.

follow her-astonished,
grief’s petals

now love?

angel touched her ,
knew name.

eyes and lips touched honey
never be the same.

Eve took apple in mouth,

fist presses against the red-gold
Black,
unsolvable mysterium— close my eyes

chasing
circle
high

gods put hands
me, break my heart
loosen a beast from some darklong depth—

the beautiful
shining devour-horse

my work labor
make emerald
l green
violet

love river,
sweet water.


come good

Erasure Poem, Poetry, Uncategorized 
 I said it
            buying a gun
for my kind

To be safe,
                                      
                 Our song plays
     Girl Don’t you know you’re a Negro? What in the hell?                                                              A confession
                       I do not know precisely
               I approximate myself as something to celebrate.
I                                                                                                     Dress-up
                                                            to get blessed. 
     hiding, shoulder to door jamb and maybe
a rifle.                                                                                                                                                                                                              scared shitless to leave 
                                   that way.
The glass is                            empty now.                                 

desperate
                              Isn't repentance itself

in the palms.    never ever stop thinking          
how it ends.             when the other you eats you             Sometimes
 white lovers, I ask permission
                                to show my dark.                                                                                                                                                                            devils underground
