Just leave me be.
Got off my back.
Let me be me.
I never told you to speak.
I never told you to listen.
Get out of my life.
You don't know what I've seen.
What I've been through.
Just leave me be.

~Devil~
He loved me so fiercely
My demons learned to listen

Hamlet my lightening rose
Summer on my lips
I tunnel and tangle inside you
Drinking from the basin of your youth
Earths saliva scribbles upon my dust
Cosmic beauty with a creatures face
The music child tasting the sound
Tucking myself into this moment
As Jupiter lies under my bed
A slender moon brushes my cheek
Pine cone fingers made of blood root sap
Lace fireflies collect their thoughts in the silver maple trees
Filling cups with generations of pain,
Refusing to drink it anymore
Segregation, deprivation, invasion
I'm barely breathing
Scrap me from this earth
As I taste it
