Theirs

in #original7 years ago

Eyes closed

Bass pulling

Against hips

That carry

And code switch

Telegraph danger

Like a rattler

Their body

Holy

Sanctified

By fire

Knows.

Eyes open.

Seeing

Through

You

And

Your colonizer eye.

You can watch

But never have.

Their holiness

And sanctified

Flesh

Is theirs

Alone.

Sort:  

I'm diggin' it. I can feel it.
