Life Sweet Me

CATEGORY

just different

Views: 159

Knarled hands, old lady held speckled with liver spot

Tore at my own skin ripping falsies into my menalin

Felt skin crawling to be back there again

No hatred on the reproach

Just difficulty at me handing my self to their views ways points

Recession of the economy, how was it after the rise of the Europeans here elevated in jobs that to many with flared nostrils stood in line for

Then as if it is a yard of poverty it rests again on my new style 

Simple afro as it is easier to maintain

Over mic spittin' loud were the words 'noone is coming to save us'

So we better start to Trus' us!

My sigh is living through the lungs of Lilith feeling I am an abandoned woman choosing a path away from statement

If I keep using intellect and smiling 

A crack will open and I won't crack from the comments in the board room or dismissal in blue collared, trying to keep ends meeting on mortgage payments

Liccle dream garden I see it in my dreams 

Plucked the ornament from it and it rests next to me 

On my mothers bedside she bought just for me

Deep sighs into cigarettes 

Just Us? 

The man who beat me, my father leaps into back seat of his porsche and tells me I can't stay there no more

I'm holding the shaky hand of mother, with liver spots

No mention of him Irish grace and I wish on four leaf clover

He tipped his straw hat as if my mistake was to jump in bed with fleas and consequences missy

But I know it's the purse his is high so I'm sold 

Like he sold his dream 

When sailing here full of love and expectations on rivuleted boat with many others, 60's, 70's

I look back through his retina 

And see me there grinding away and grinding still.
