fa bathsheba, saarjite y otra vagina dentate<\/p>\n

a.
\nanutha forgotten child uv sun pepul
\navin known me by slave name
\ngatherin loose remains uv her fortune
\nshe furnished me fragmented specter uv hope
\nhair braided tight
\ntha rope uv history layin claim ta her labia
\nbetrothal & betrayal makin fa
\nstrange bedfellows in standard dictionaries
\na socially prescribed astigmatism
\ntha boot & heel uv patriarchy embedded in her womb
\nmary magdalened & consumed reduced ta
\nsex toy video ho baby makin machine object orifice spittoon
\ntha moon heavy & sittin on us beached like whales
\nher stori intricately laced wif birth loss bloodshed
\neye asked her how is it that she cud trust again<\/p>\n

b.
\nthis crust uv avin learned how ta suffer in silence
\ngrinnin & bearin it swallow pain whole still bindin her eyelids
\npartin parched lips her voiced rasped
\nresonatin in hollow uv mah collar bone
\na low moan deliverin grave epithet
\npassed down ta her thru mitochondria
\nfrum fallopia ta uterus ta breath ta breathin
\nmaturatin ta scrotum ta urethra ta uterus & back ta fallopia
\na dream obstinate & refusin ta die declarin
\n& princes shall cum forth frum out uv khemet ethiopia
\nwif arms outstretched eye crafted mah back
\ninta bone & flesh shelter as she burrowed inta me
\nin response ta whi
\nshe sed she wanted ta believe
\nagain
\nread frum tha palms uv mah hands a livin scripture
\na dark & comely song uv solomon
\neach beginnin soundin too much like endin<\/p>\n

c.
\nan unsolicited advance
\na forced conversation
\na forced entry
\na forced explanation
\na forced abortion
\na forced reconciliation
\na forced return uv affection
\na forced pregnancy
\na forced weddin
\na forced marriage
\na forced separation
\na forced order uv protection
\na forced move
\na forced divorce
\na forced paternity test
\na forced child support payment
\na forced single female headed household
\nmore than survivin
\na force ta be reckoned wif<\/p>\n

d.
\nsheer she pulled back her paperthin veil ta reveal
\nwhat unchecked testosterone often bludgeoned inta unconsciousness
\ncurios fa idle banter chatter chance conversation
\nthat once god was a woman
\nthat she had skatted herself inta existence
\nushered lyphe unta this world
\ninitiated tyme tha changin uv seasons
\nthat reason used ta cohabitate wif intuition
\nnun tha wiser
\nonce she had been tha north star
\nher bodi temple an underground railroad unto itself
\nmakeshift mule fa men
\na bridge fa her back
\nhard ta concieve
\nshe had always been t\/here
\neven when she did not own herself
\nthat hefer
\nthat sacred cow uv a wuman
\nshe is more than genitalia
\nhad me decryin vacant rhetoric & swearin at wind
\nour bodies rememberin
\nhow we tended ta repeat ourselves
\nshe wantin ta believe again
\n& eye wantin ta be different
\nthan mah father & his father befa him
\nwantin release frum this mongrel minstrel tribute
\nattributed ta venus & her hottentots
\nanutha ebonic fantasy<\/p>\n

e.
\ncoagulatin
\nmah eyes begged fa education & forgiveness
\na wont willingness ta abandon
\nan image imitatin an image imitatin an image
\ntha excesses uv linear thinkin old & fashioned round
\na world based on a lie that does not truli exist
\nvictoria’s secrets uncovered tits exposin victorian notions
\nthat still manage ta seep in poison pimp & prostitute
\nrantin despite old testament pundits revisionists redactors
\nthat eye probably came frum her ribs
\nthat eye can not experience free wifout her
\nnor du eye harbor such desire ta
\ncuz eye wanted ta be whole
\neye part her she part me
\npretendin not ta be lookin
\neye met her sundey morning
\non j train home frum brooklyn
\ntradin slave names
\nshe spoke me wif her stori
\nuntil train came
\n& eye began ta bleed
\nthat dey & everi munth afta<\/p>\n

f.
\nshe smiles at me<\/p>\n
