racism perverts
the egalitarian struggle
that wounds everyone.
bigger me
sun tzu’s artful war
subdue enemy within.
fighting bigger me.
licking flames
earth coughs up fireball.
sky choking on yellow flames.
yet angels don’t weep.
star stuck
as the heavens turn
and the devil sleeps quietly
i dance under stars.
stye in eye
the heavy eyelids
coated with coarse ugly sand.
tearing corneas.
starving for choice
on the one hand
is a fruit most bitter.
on the other nothing.
