Madame Vai Mar 2022
I've heard this tune before
of butterflies that tickle
of time that stands
still

Whispering
of days more free
saccharine, yet bitter

Of turbulent emotions
and boundaries untested
untarnished
by careless love

A time of yearning,
begging,
pleading,
always wanting more.

Dancing naked
under the starry night sky
never caring about the morning.

First failure.
First disappointment.
How divine

to feel it all again
the loose security,
of dreams unfulfilled

This melancholy tune.
Tanisha Jackland Dec 2015
Bleed
woman
bleed

Feed the licks of the Sun
with your immortal womb

Sieze the comfort
of the light before it dies
tried woman
waiting in the amniotic fluid

Bleed
woman
bleed

Show up in the afterbirth
before the hours
have gone fetal
deliver yourself from gender

Live the unknown gaps
free, black and forever
Womanhood It ain't always pretty, folks.
