Divine Mama

She wakes me up to draw her

So she can pray

For me

For we

Divine mothers appear at every turn

Teaching me

Leading me

Learned God is a black woman

Praying more fervently now

It all makes sense

And then it doesn’t again

Two headed not two faced

Hearing the words they don’t say

Seeing the pain and the peace they don’t display

Don’t try to hide it I’ll see it anyway

She wakes me up to draw her

So she can pray

for me

for we

Divine mothers appear at every turn

Flip it and reverse it

She put her spaceship in reverse and flipped their universe.

Blast off.

where’s my lighter?

The queen burned down her own kingdom

Overrun with foolishness

She was homeless

Far from hopeless though

She laughed slightly and smiled

The queen burned down her own kingdom

She stood just close enough to feel the warmth of the flickering flames and not get burnt

Bending down, she lit her cigarette on the walls of her burning kingdom

Unafraid of cancer, because we’re all terminal anyway, she inhaled and exhaled

Fuck it

Let it burn

She owned that it wasn’t built on anything worth saving

Foundation fractaled by faux “I’ll love you forevers” flung from mouths that made mockeries of marriage

Unions made useless

Committed only to not being committed

Lessons learned

Bridges burned

The queen burned down her own kingdom

Let it Burn

Vibrating words / Flickering Screens

Sometimes I wish you would watch your words as much as those screens you love so much.

Lucky for your ass the patience I ordered off Amazon just arrived.

Chitty Chitty Namaste bihhhhh

Turtle power

My feet dangle off the side of the slightly wet footbridge. Large lush leaves in every hue of green gently sway in the lightly blowing winds. My ears enjoy the symphony of bird songs. Here I am taking a moment to stop along the path per usual. My turtle friend swims by reminding me to slow down, take my time, and be here now.

Slow down mind.
Slow down time.

[found this in an email to myself from 2014]

She rode thru old spaces
Thinking of all those places
The words that fell from faces
Their weight had held her down
Horrified that she would drown
She now realized that fight she fought
And the fucked up shit it brought
Those actions were the offspring of fear
Amanayea came with the light & made it clear
Fear is Darkness meddling in your mind
Awakened to Truth she put fear’s ass in line
She refused to focus on the fuckedupness of life
the constant replaying of perceived strife
She rode thru old spaces
Thinking of all those places
The words that fell from faces
They were never holding her down-
They were building her up so she could wear the crown
