Hymn to Blood
i.
in dedication
of the first movement
white cotton on a warm
Summer’s day
churning a stomach
with those first arias
of womanhood
ii.
in celebration
of the second movement
twenty-eight symphonies
played on mournful violins
twelve months a year
where music met in math
in equations of fire
iii.
in anticipation
of the third movement
to over-played strings
that brittle in fraying strands
as battles...

Hymn to Circles
she folds herself
into fragile origami on the chair
hair draped across her cheek
she talks
of everything and nothing
her tiny paw clutching a stone
that gives her words
permission
to leave her throat
to become truths
to birth from her voice
sometimes I find it difficult
to come here at all and others
I watch her deconstruct gently
revealing pieces of herself
over and over
until
she is lighter somehow
until she...

Riding the Camelid of Distress on International Women’s Day
Chillin’ in a state of constant fear and trauma
And all I gots to say is thanks Obama
I be twitching and shaking on my way back home
I have a hard time remembering David the Gnome
The theme song specifically, and how that junks went
Door Dash is how my whole paycheck got spent
And even tho I be craving that KFC
I know it ain’t the healthiest meal for me
But imma YOLO this shit till the walls come down
I’m livin’ it up and painting the town
A dark shade of puce
Imma let it hang loose
I suspect Lizzo been having more mayo...

Maid of Kentucky
Choices you made, made you choiceless
Had your children, but lost your life
I was your last baby, the last you could have
And you said, “womanhood is gone.”
My mama, you’re the patron saint
Of all of women’s suffering
You’re dedication won’t go unnoticed
I’m gonna wear your name
When you leave this world
I’ll tell the tale of the Maid of Kentucky
Had your children, but lost your life
I was your last baby, the last you could have
And you said, “womanhood is gone.”
My mama, you’re the patron saint
Of all of women’s suffering
You’re dedication won’t go unnoticed
I’m gonna wear your name
When you leave this world
I’ll tell the tale of the Maid of Kentucky

We are women
Do we stand? Do we stumble?
Are we strong? Are we nimble?
Do we shake? Do we shiver?
Are we cold? Do we quiver?
No, we are women
We sadly don’t get that choice
You have to constantly fight
For your right to deserve life
Are we strong? Are we nimble?
Do we shake? Do we shiver?
Are we cold? Do we quiver?
No, we are women
We sadly don’t get that choice
You have to constantly fight
For your right to deserve life

Torpedo Jamming, Rocket Mapping & Other Innovators in History
Praise your moms, praise your sisters, praise your daughters, praise your queens
Praise all the women in your life who have helped you achieved your dreams
Honor those women who have contributed to society but never got the glory
It’s March, it’s women’s history month so learn about them and tell their stories
Like
Did you know that Hollywood star Hedy Lamarr was also an inventor?
The actress of the silver screen had patents and other inventions that still apply
During the war she came up with the idea of frequency jamming for torpedoes
And that...

Hollow
You scooped my insides out and left me as empty as a hollow pin pricked egg; left with nothing but half baked sorry ass text message apologies, and crying so hard at night I could not breathe.
I don't know why I always fall for men like you, perhaps it is something that I am missing within myself, that maybe I think that they must have; but never do.
I have been picked apart by so many people, my bones used as toothpicks and my heart as an ashtray; that I have somehow forgotten what being enough for someone felt like in the first place.
You told me you had...

A Brief History of Hating Women
Since youth you’ve been obsessed
by how the ills of all society
are lain at women’s doors like skins.
From Potiphar’s wife to Mrs Clinton,
it’s always women’s fault.
She wasn’t a good enough mum,
she couldn’t keep mum,
she slept around all over town
or seemed at least like that’s
what she wanted. Or else she was frigid.
You realise in the end that no true road exists between the rock of what men want and what
you’d like to be, a hard place undefined.
The truth is that you’re just as flawed as men, as great, and grim,...

You Are Enough
Dear Ladies
You are not pretty enough
That's the message you hear every day
They may not say it like that But
they do in there own way
So I wanna tell you something
You may not be pretty enough
But you are beautiful
See being britty is cool
But it don't last
The more you obsess
over the body you have
The more you will feel pain
Cause see one day the prettiness
that you charrish o so much
Will fade
And you won't be able to use
Juno, lock or villincy
Or filter it in away ...

ICONIC
This is for the ladies who are more
Than what they seem,
The ones who wake up everyday
And paint there face with pretty things
Just to be able to compete
With unrealistic expectations
The obligations of a woman
That just wants some validation
Were brought up on the lie
That our women aren't sacred
Just procreators that God gave us
Nothin but baby makers
But its mind over materialism
Thats what they should've told us
We don't even grow up
We just live to get older
Its all a game and I'm folding ...

My Oracle Sacred Rites Of The Placenta (Part I of Part II)
Unto life that has been given unto the womb, a sacred connection between the divine, intermission of growth and development from embryo to a fetus, to the deliverance of man child or woman child into the enlightenment from the mythical of passage from the Heavens to Earth, in exile from the darkness unto the light of Eve’s disobedience manifested by life and death.
I will ask level-minded intellects a question, what are the gifts we get from the universe, when we are without guidance, blind eyes as looking through the world with the innocent of a childlike’s perceptions.

Definition of Feminism
The definition of feminism’s fucking simple
You treat me as I treat you, you don’t get no special treatment
I get the fear that bestowed upon you, girl, I’ve been there
But if you mention Jupiter again, that’s double standards
Is this the thanks we get for standing up for civil rights?
You wouldn’t know a predator if it spat in your eyes
What’s been stopping men from entering the wrong bathroom?
Ma’am and Mister, can’t we all just shit in peace please?
The girl is not a dog, quit telling her to come your way
“I take what I want...
