Sweet into your sugar spice
twisted together like starch
molded slowly and baked
like warm pretzels
I melt into your
tough brown skin
and evaporate like butter
to fix into the flavors
of Us…
in WE I trust
to rise up
cuz
ain’t all folks kinfolks
but the ones who are
ain’t got no
heart
that’s why I dig inside
to
give you mine
being wrapped around you
is my Life
and that’s just
Fine.
