Red
She painted me in violent red
Dripping oil and
Strokes of toxic lead
Painted bloodied battle scenes
Of her, martyred
Me, dead
Vast imagery to tell her story,
Duplicitously
She painted her face
On every soldier, replaced,
And sold it museum to museum,
Showcased
I am the pawn,
Exhausted
A lifetime of submission
Of holding up hers,
Supported
I jumped ship and swam to shore
Faced that pain,
Drew lines in the sand,
And ended the war
She sings to the world her lies
Still, now
And paints me in violent red
From the cut she made,
From the wounds she bled.

In my language
I am seen
I am known
In my language
I am home
In my tone
And at my pace
I will invite you
Into my space
In my language
In my words
I come alive
When I am heard
In my language
You will learn
The depth of me
And another earth

Life is better in slow motion
Bending with the seasons,
Breeze
and the trees remember
Daylight is short and precious
Rotating passions keep the fingers
Blister free
I tune in to mellow guitar riffs
And drum beats
Let my anger bleed out, settling in
Cracks in the concrete
Let my place in the world
Dissipate

Slowly, slowly
Slowly, slowly
Winter reflection internal rest recovery love peace quiet self

When the world
Screams in my ear
You are faulty,
You are worthless
A little paw stretches,
Resting on my chest
And I am reminded
I am her world,
I am lovely.

When the dopamine hits
Tongue whips
Colours claw
My heart skips
I start to warm
To people, the outside
When the dopamine hits
Play, quips
Imagination is alive.

You ripped us to shreds
For your tourniquet
Silenced us with your book,
Lauding it
Used your belt to whip us
Into your childhood
We fill ourselves with loathing
To hide it.

Yet, you are absolved from blame
As your fathers did the same
And now as we are older
Per tradition, carry the shame.

Behold!
Here is the white chair
Here is the speech
Here is my *******
Rotating as you preach

Forsake my vested energy
Take your begotten gift
Brace yourself, insert it rectally,
And doth my a** do kiss.
