Be the man
that grows beyond
what people presume.
They mostly mean well,
claiming to know
how certain roses bloom.
Men, too, are enchanted flowers
Blossoming during monsoon.

Somewhere in the Oceans
Is this some new great white shark?
One that holds lightning ‘tween its teeth?
Lord, hammercy.
I could do without that
again–
Oh, it’s just those white men with Lightning in their hands again–
they like the way I look
for some invasive reason or another…
I’m just trying to get to where I’m going.
It’s been 98 years since I’ve seen my Aunt Kimaya.
She makes me smiiile.
So, go ‘head and stare if y’all must.
Just please, please point your lightning somewhere else–
it’s hard enough to see as it is.
