Tombstones – 30 days of Poetry excerpts #29

I got Tombstones in my Mattress

And I practice pretending they aren’t there

Potholes and traps for all who enter these tomb filled snares

I got ash cans and grey post

That line the belly of this seam

I got construction going on

In the trinkets of my dreams

In the pit of my Mattress

I call it the dead zone

There building a fortress

And fences

Calling it their home

And they aint even paying rent

I evicted two tenants

And  could care less where they went

I Waited for November (dVerse) 30 days of Poetry excerpts

I waited

And I waited

And I waited for her

Days came

And they went

The sun shifted

And it bent

I talked to the gods

Bowed my head hopeful this would be rectified if I repent

But the water

Froze still

Puberty 1988 – 30 days of Poetry excerpts

I tried to off myself
Cut my wrist
Watched blood seep from my veins
I thought of other ways but I’m too young for cocaine
Doctor told me I had a sprain and she bandaged my brain
***
I’m 13 years old and my dad tells me things will
Eve-Vent-Chu-Ally change

***
Mammas tryna’ get me away we took a ride on the train
I remember when mamma was sick
She had a sprain in her brain
I went with mamma weekly when she took the ride on the train
***

I stayed with the doc for 2 weeks

Until I went back to schoo’
Brian has a new girlfriend now but I don’t give a fuc’ cause I’m coo’

Remembering – 30 days of Poetry excerpts #26

I laid still frozen on my back

While I heard the chants from the windows

From murmurs priest and Catholic’s

Screaming

MURDERER!

As one single tear drop fell from my eye

And collided pass my ear and slid down my neck

And froze itself right there

Tickling my neck

But this was not funny

And I dare not even crack a smile

I laid frozen on my back as the chants got louder
