Sticks and Stones
we are as simple
as our skill at suppressing
our complexity
we are too hidden
behind the expectations
that others feed us
programmed conformists
our contradictions scare us
into denial
close your eyes and look
in the mirror of being
tell me what you see
imagine being
all of you...down to the bone
sticks and stones tested

unfathomable
your gravity, Black Woman
please keep us grounded
exceed your orbit
feed this famished path so life
won’t be so barren
penetrate the bleak
portal of our brain damage
go deep, smack a nerve

keep babbling, Dear Queen
‘til we quit acting tone-deaf
bust up our eardrums
your virgin truth is
immaculate conception
pregnant with promise
Belief
first off let me say
hello beautiful morning
so glad to see you
i truly feel that
the quicksand we’re standing on
will not sink our bond
this thing between us
rebels against gravity
we walk on water
next off let me say
hello beautiful future
i believe in you
