Came to Nawlins for education. Got more’n I bargained for—Voodoo & vampires. Ran—but the Crescent is a seductress. Scribed by @derickijohnson f288e5e5

If it was
So simple
But Her call
I can’t resist

No promised gold
Nor #happiness
Will keep me
From this tryst

TheCrescentCity
Luvs me
I burn
Beneath Her thrall

I’d fear she wud
Luv me to death
But I’m undead
After all

I see myself
As powerful
But weak
Beneath Her shawl

@AmandaJK_ Mostly I ignore it and move on. Not everyone in the world is meant to like me. If I sense a trend, I examine myself and my behavior. No need to move through the World unnecessarily “dickishly.”🤷🏾‍♂️😏

[Billy “Goat” Cox @GoatCox]

@AmandaJK_ It reminds me of kinte cloth…

@AmandaJK_ Glad you liked it, Amanda. Thanks.

Abandoned church
A poisoned pond
What is there
Not to like?

It calls
A broken part of me—
A dark hall
In my psyche

Not only
Will I crash that church
I plan to stay
Around

And let
The demon in me
Set up house
And live unbound…😈

From my position I could see people’s backs. I sighed, knowing that those ahead of me were most at risk on this #dice_ship. I could see others looking to the sky. When it appeared we all gasped in dread. The guy on the toy horse was toppled, cast aside. Who would be next. #vss365

Rhetoric
can be venomous
poison that rots
the soul
Hold yourself
above the fray
Use our strength
to defy the madness
It's not humanity
that causes sadness
'Tis the powers
in control

he left
#trauma a bomb
thrown over his shoulder
keep high achieving
believing it’d be
leaving once I’m older
trauma fog breathed in
heart fast beating
long past beatings
till EMDR
changed toxic smoulder &minds signposts
banished taunts
of trauma fog haunts
vanished ghosts

I regard
Banality
& cults
Of personality

With heavy heart
So weighted
Down
By a dark finality

As I sit here on
My brownstone stoop
& watch that World
Go by

It is plain
We are a’dying
But cannot compute
The *Why?

It’s our #spirit
Sadly flagging
Cuz we can’t
See Eye2Eye

My little sister is in the churchyard, but my grandmother’s table still bears the marks from her fork. The tears of my mother have gummed the varnish, and in the #grain I see the breath of the god who was my father. I lay down my head and listen to the walnut tree.

Here to hunt
A werewolf
I await
Rise of full moon

Shivering
I grasp my bow
For conflict
Coming soon

But
I fall asleep
& do not wake
Til morning #light

Wake naked
By a dead fawn
Its corpse
A grisly sight

Clench
My bloody hands
In horror
As I ken my plight
