You know I'm feeling good when I have enough time and gumption to do a little something on here.
Woman
Girls are the cause of the movement
and the rushing and the trampling
I've learned to wait out the feeling
of certain uncertainty
can it be that the
whole world has something i can't see
I wonder if the pushing and the running
is to see my ancestry, in a window into the past
hubbling around I found that window on my own
a voyeuristic peep into the unknown
the darkness is like a tar that sticks to my mind
a virus that drips through your timeline
where the seconds and minutes and year are nothing
except for a black ash liquid, and when I see a face
it's quick to turn from a baby to a woman
to a bone blackened mass, a woman without a past
now tasking out the scope I am telling
has sights and sounds, but I'm not smelling
what it's like to be in that past little space
does it smell of rain or asphalt or devil chocolate cake?
Oh I see now. it smells of burning hair and a field of lavender
it's like burning an incense stick of the darkest blackness
the deepest darkest blackness
