Cold Sweat
Kinda Weird Like...
It's not just the AK47 armed policemen
or the armored tanks rolling down 79th street
not the helicopters circling
the neighborhood every night
more than the imagery
and frequency
not even the numbing sensation
of hearing the sirens so frequently
this is much more than section 8 and link cards
It's strange like...
an empty playground on a summer afternoon
or more blacks in prison than were enslaved
kinda weird like
a child needing a gun
Door of No Return
Door of No Return
she stands there
7x4 doorway
brick and bone
lining the shore
she's crying
video camera sagging
overwhelmed with emotions
reliving the abduction
the diaspora
floods back to her
tugging at her
screaming for her
rushing toward her
moving through her
around about her
she hyper-ventilates
forced to contemplate
and over-compensate
different pathways
to the same place
between the hard rock
and soft place
criminal theft or saving grace
supreme cruelty or fate
a blessed curse
between the hard rock
and the soft space
