Poems
Feb 2018
L is for Lahkeesha
My mother calls me "Lucky"
I'd call myself lonely,
lost in my longing for more.
Left handed and lippy, my Latin roots grab hold
short with little limbs, my bark is sharp
but my love soft.
Lumps lodged in my chest
loaded little rockets
launch when winter lands
Logic eludes my language
I speak, lucid lies loudly
laced with truths,
liquor tends to loosen, the lips
My Mother calls me "Lucky"
a shining lucky star,
I'd call myself Lady of the Lake
watery, and rippling
