stars

sight in the darkness -
close your eyes, and wait awhile.
stars? or your third eye?



flood and you

haiku of the day:
08.11.11.

There's a flood outside!
Only pack what's essential!
My pictures of you.

11/11/11

these numbers you see,
there is more than meets the eyes
there's what stays inside


to wish or thank you?
for moments that have shaped me.
neither will suffice.


a day and a month
can never be thanks enough
for someone like you.


these 1's are the time.
for those stars shine fierce and bright
just for you this night.

i'm merely looking for love
in the wrong places

No, you may not come
in, on, or anywhere near me.
That is not my name.

-----

Third world feminists
We say that aloud sometimes.
Most times we just hide.


-----

I'm not too skinny.
It's just I can't remember
The last time I ate.

----


Whore, Traitor, Ugly
Scream out whatever you like.
Just not virgin, please.


----

Does that feel good, babe?
I said yes, so you finished.
There were exams to grade.

-----


Father, my protector
Where were you when he touched me?
Working hard for us.


------

Tampons are for sluts.
You are not a slut, are you?
I am much, much worse.

-----

The place I come from,
Does not respect difference.
So I left. You stayed.

They are not shallow.
But it's the size of my thighs
not my heart, they see.

Brownness brings me down.
Legs apart. But nothing works.
Guilt and Religion.
