Zero Amor G-Mixed *Sample*
Mahogany baby
Tear stained pupils
& I listened closely as you sung sighs
Deep breaths…
I watched you from underneath that space between door and tiled floor
As if I was trying to keep my distance
Afraid I’d say the wrong thing
But
They tried to pry us apart
Because what you have is contagious
& dare you spread your knowledge
I’d be just as insane and…
They never cared to read beyond the pages...
Between the lines of
XXL and Daily News Articles…
The devil is in the detail…
& they never understood when you’d set yur watch according to yur own NY Times
You were always prepared if those yellow taxis ever took a left turn into twin trade centers
But they’d say you were the breeding ground for conspiracies
Mahogany baby
You were racist if you didn’t date a boy of your kind
You were a trader
Lynched by false advertising, gentrification
& mahogany don’t crack so they tried to break you
They tried to belittle you & play you…
Having found out you found refuge when others sought...
Hurricane Willie flooded the neighborhoods of babies with melanin in skin
& those who precede you suffer most from the syndrome…
On other side of closed door I’m only tryna save you
I wanna tell you that I feel you..
But having been raped by man & lies & woman & government
I don’t want you to take offense…
I wanna tell you to confide in me…
But having bled more often than every 28 days
I’m sure periods would follow….
