reptile contemplations

snake skin shake skin

snake skin shake skin

who still in here

dyin’ to come out?

 

touching me

no touching

me with your blue

eyes no touching me

with your blue hands.

 

nonku

the ones who raped her

(too much) never

sent any (love) letters.

for closure

all dressed up in

naked words – not

like i have em on sale.

all literation

why is it strength

in numbers when it’s always

been letters. let hers.

 

 

waiting room

6 hair cuts

20 nail clippings

10 fallen orchid flowers

2 other lovers

25 laundries

7 liquid hand soaps

2 dental visits

5 phone sex sessions

400 messages

later

 

i empty

the hour tray.

haiku

lemme gaze into

the mirror for a brush with

that voice in your hands.

mojo

you, a fire painting skies at nite

i, i an airborn/e burning kite

how come we needed no disguise

felt like magic, spelled just right

i loved bathing in the scented light

in heartflows, lustlegs, sugarcries

with heat flooding our thighs

i sailed – navigating skin, word, flight –

on yo telling, yo beloved eyes.
