~Rescue You~



Dedicated to all the Black men that are positive influences. Happy Black history month.

  To you with the chestnut smile
sun rays kiss you  in the morning
and I can smell your reflection vividly
upon those pearly white teeth of yours
 
There is no need to rescue you
you aren't in trouble
polaroid cameras were created for you
fastest way to duplicate your
immaculate image
your arms are like grape vines
covering me with your strong sense of masculinity
 
You must be a personal trainer
or perhaps a butcher
abs more cut up than meat at a market
Webster can't even define
your body's definition
 
See...you don't need to be rescued
if you were a cigarette
I would smoke the whole pack
if you're a bottle of alcohol
I would surely drink to that
if I could control the waves in the ocean
I would demand them to form your name
 
When you're around
all I see is those beautiful brown eyes
oh those eyes they tell a story
your story
you're a master
a leader in every form
a general in the army
front line warrior
ready for battle
you're unique
you're strong
you're my soldier
 
Your history is told through the braille
upon your backs
your ancestors were no were near weak
you don't need to be rescued
they need to be rescued
your oppressor needs to suppress his mind
fall down to his knees
and beg for forgiveness a thousand times
 
You're a king
You're loved
You're a Black Man
we need you
Only you can change the world

~Housekeeping~



Trails of lust
spark the piercing eye of a loner
solitary cards shuffle around in throat
falls over and bums fist with sin and
develops friendship in the process

Until postpartum crawls into existence
creating connect-the-dot hickeys upon necks
blazing a furnace of firing flames
that secrets can't contain
minds can't erase the moments

The memories
the feelings
the song
you both sung
a song so sweet
drip drops rain from heaven
in the shape of her v

Band-aids weren't intended for hearts
bleach cannot abolish everything
ever tried inserting bleach into a vagina?

when dawn concurs dusk in the morning
I wonder however in a million years
shall housekeeping ever cleanse
the tsunami drowning in this room
