We are each our own Universe
A population of one
A religion of ourselves
Me
I don’t believe in the boundaries of space and time
Early Spring
I drop a ten dollar bill on the streets of a small town in the Rocky Mountains
And never grieve over what I lost
Because eight years later
Late Autumn
In Brooklyn
I bend down to the sidewalk
And pick up the money I dropped
Under my hand
The concrete feels warm
Must be Montana sun
The tips of my fingers numb
It’s the New York chill
I say thanks to my past self
She’s younger than me and can afford the sacrifice
See
I knew I would need the money
We connect for a second
And then I’m gone

Holy is Her Water

Holy, like the air
she gave me to breathe
Is my love of her.
Blue hues of joy color my aura
When her accented voice utters praise.

I am coming forth by day.

Disruptions are not allowed as I build and rebuild.
Space is only opened by the carver
not me.

I script my story a lot more haltingly than I used to
And manage to somehow still be at peace.

"Security AND Passion" A Response to My Sistah's Blog "Security Over Passion?"

PLEASE CHECK OUT QWEEN IYAPIPHANY'S BLOG SPOT @ http://blackloveadvocate.blogspot.com

My God Sis! You just crack my soul open and have me spilling all over...the way you hold the truth to light and blind me with the prismatic rays! I so love you. We are on a journey of simultaneously diverging and converging streams that flow from eternity into eternity and how in the world are we ever to have any lasting clarity in that? I don't know that God really wants that for us. I think it is a human mad… Continue

tell me why

for the first time, i am "doing" a love relationship the right way. no plans to marry. no living with me before i've decided whether or not having a job matters. no unnecessary explanations to my children because there are no pdas before them. no waking up and walking into mommy's room and wondering, "Who the hell is that?" Nope. This time, I decided to be smart. Have not even told my closest friends about this one. I'm watching, I'm waiting. For the first time, maybe I am actually making a man… Continue

something new, the truth to all of this, revealed, open and unabashedly...visit, comment, and share experiences. I think I'll have a good mixture of hoodfolk, intellectuals, nationalists, poets...hopefully, some emcees, and the thing that will get me killed one day...young, good-looking men... we'll see what happens.

"...not dreaming something she was supposed to be dreaming."

"...not dreaming something she was supposed to be dreaming."

A sister friend of mine has this quote tagged to the bottom of her e-mails and it struck me like a brick! I learned it is from Toni Morrison's Tar Baby which I read so long ago, I think I was a teenager. I don't recall the context but I can't shake the notion as it fits me right now. Seems like it has always fit me. I feel like I am always on the brink of knowing something I should know but always stepping around, or over the knowledg… Continue
