POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Cousins
We share the same genes
So maybe that's why you felt it was okay to unzip mine
"Keep it in the family" was the phrase that you lived by
Unbutton
Belly buttons touching
Nothing was rushing through my mind more than to escape this and be home
But, that's where I was
In my room to be exact
On my bed, in fact, you weren't even invited
This sexual desire is unrequited
I'm benighted by your presence
Bottomless
Total dominance over my body is what you posses
My screams do nothing but turn you on
In hopes...

Her Feet
You told your wife she has the ugliest feet
How could you mistreat she who breastfeeds your seed?
Those feet of hers helped her stand while she carried your child.
Those feet, were pretty & sweet till they were
bare on concrete
Dirt & blisters
She could barely bend over to conceal her feet while containing my sister
Those feet, stood on its toes as you kissed her
Those feet, helped her walk over to meet you
Those feet, helped her run away from getting beat
You inserted yourself inside of her, as those toes curled
Her...

My eyes wander
I wander around wondering “why me?”
Pondering, fondling, chomping my nails with my teeth
My eyes water
I thought that I slaughtered these voices
Boisterous screaming demons
Feeding me evil ideas
Tears drop
“Teardrops?! Here pop these pills
These will, kill all your problems
I promise”
Not novice to this kind of drama
My momma got a lot of bottles
Full of Z's, xanies & vodka
Swallowed some pills followed by alcohol
Breaching aqueducts
Devil’s advocate
