Nightmares.

Bless. Its Me being poetry face again. Kholi and I are steady on that workshop shit via FB. Today's theme is Nightmares. Can yall peep my style yet. Can you tell which part is mine. Holla Black let me know. Enjoy.

There's this loud crashing
Running
Time I conjure.
Swift-footed and
Faded
I tumble again and again.
I rise.
With each standing swamp-thick
Tall fear grabs
Me.
There are murderers
Behind each gilded mirror.
I wonder
if i will ever get over this moment.
My carcass shipped in the wind
Pieces of my heart bleeding in mouths
staining faces
I knew
they wanted to devour me
they twisted their thoughts into my locks
celebrated their hands across my body
and I liked it.
Enjoyed every reason.
Suffered it against my solar plexus.
Decorated each breathe
like young soldiers returning home
to dead mothers lacking health care.
A steady diet
of dieing in front of TV sets.
A sacrifice full of stimulus.

Stargaze from a distance

I've been doing a bit a writing with my friend Kholi via fb. This is the second joint we did. The first one is posted on her blog. If I had to pick I like that one better so check it out. Anyhue we will be doing these all week maybe longer so make sure you tell me which ones you like. So this is half Super half Kholi enjoy.

For as long as i can remember
I've had worms.
Deep inside my intestines.
Gutting out my insides.
Its only a matter of time now.
before sweet hymns and
Grand mama's cries
make me
the Mos Def
in the room.
Bigger and Deffer
than ever
More clever than you
and
or I ever imagined.
Growing out of myself
is this
excellence that eats.
Future gilded with fear and longing.
An inability to be appeased unless pleasing.

I like the power.

I can

For as long as i can remember.

Stargaze from a distance.
See myself
through you.
Smell your anticipation thick like
love.
Heavy as my own
guilt knowing or oft
feeling the more I owe.

Scream my name lover.
I've been long preparing for this screw.
I'm coming-
Pouring my dreams as offering
unto your feet-
leaking long after the vessel is empty.
