Early Sunday evening

The sun barely peeks through the clouds

Its been overcast all day

You’ve been casting looks

As the fishermen cast their lines

Sinking their hooks

Like you sink your teeth in me

Any writers want to collab?

You are as wild as you are Quiet, But who can show you speed? Like you can show us Chocolate There is a silence That dances on the tongue Of Women without Men to dance with The cream Of cropped hair who Can chop corn & chomp on Popcorn with African Lips smacking between gaps & makes me, Laugh Hearts were made Red so, We can dwell In Our lower nature, and Forget to breathe, Forget to Balance So these roses are Green for context. And fresh air. ————————————————— #WritersofIG #StreetwearWomen #fashionwomens #womensstyleguide #womenstyleblogger #BGKI #blackgurlproblems #BlackGirlHealth #BlackMentalHealth #BlackCouples #TravelBlack #BlackPoets #BlackPoem #LovePoem #Poetrynyc #NycPoets #bowerypoetry #nuyoricanpoetscafe

Missing our Nonnie on this day. 💚 To the most incredible woman I have ever known, I wish I could talk to you, but I will continue to write for you for the rest of my days. . . . #poet #poetry #poetsofig #poetrycommunity #poetrysociety #nycpoets #brooklynpoets #amwriting #writersofinstagram #family #love #missingyou #matriarch #memories

Andi and I went to a poetry reading at St Marks, in “the room that made Patti Smith famous.” It’s a really cool space and the performance was wonderful; a synth player embellished the reading with a subtle score and it was real nice. #poetry #nycpoets #nyc #pattismith #poetsofinstagram #poets (at St. Mark's Church in-the-Bowery)

Epar

I think its time to get this off my chest

Something happened to me

And it didn’t click at first

It didn’t register that i was hurt

An innocent night, gone totally awry

I’ve blamed myself time after time

Only recently, did i learn i am a victim too

I didn’t know you

and i wished they hadn’t left us alone

Way past midnight, i had no way home

You tried to make me feel “safe”

It was only a ploy

When i cried “please dont”

You continued with joy

You refused a condom

& held me down with bodily force

I couldn’t fight you

I had no choice

On & on & on you went

I cried and cried, my emotions spent

You don’t think you did anything wrong

& I could never tell this story aloud

For a girl like me, just know you’re not alone...

Silence standing still

Silence in motion

What do you see when

you look at me?

Am I what you perceive me to be?
