Homage to the word:


grrrrrrrl
u weave me
thru
yrself
seamlessly
u breath me
thru yr
space
timelessly
when im in
yr
voice
i
seem
to
flow
mindlessly

and so i rhyme spit shout WORD
til vowels empower me
to
rise up
from my ashes
in flames
of a phoenix
u
deify me

purify me
baptise me in
stillest waters
quench mental fires forge
verbal paths

don't u know's it's like
lava flow hot and
unstoppable u
burn me cold
flowin
chillin

grrrrrrrrl
when u
fell outta the dictionary u
made sounds that spoke to me

verbose
u left me comitose
as u kissed more territory on my ear-th
than the pope
u see

grrrrrrrl
u be
reason for radio
the seasoning to audio
and when music loses purposes
grrrl
yr ass can play solo
cuz
yr ways yr thighs yr
moves yr grooves
are

Hhhhip
like THAT
and
THIS
piece couldn't do justice
to the solstice of your syllables
the resonance of yr sounds
the palpatations of yr perculatin pronunciatin pounds

m mmm.

grrrrrl
when i
glided my
optics
pressin fingers
'pon
nipples 'gainst atlas
...u
moaned for me
i spread out yr consonants
so that yr vowels
could
crone for me
n
whisper
sweet tender vibrations
to the dome baby

grrrrrrrrl
u make me wanna
take my pen
and
ride u
on
bonded paper
spill my ink
in
yr container
and
let
the sharpness of my point
rrrrrip
(baby grip)
thru the layers...

grrrrrrrrrl
u be
patterns to pages
makin spaces for
meditations
carving white spaces with
black decorations
providing inspirations
through repetitions
and combinations

grrrrrrrl
u be bridges between people
sidewalks to freeways
a playground for metaphors
building blocks for similes
subtitles and sidetalk

u be the air that talking breathes
u be the food that thinking eats

the paper be wearin
ur jewels
ringin fingers with o's and
crownin heads with u's
u be
the shapes that intentions hide in
the light that makes the letters speak
u be be the inspiration that poets seek and the
lovers that writers keep

and every time
pen and paper touch
they create new life
u be the beginning the genesis the generator
placin the world on yr accelerator
u be the speed that makes understanding high
u be pandora to misunderstandings
when invisible or unspoken
u be the real crack that marion barry is tokin
and when CENSORSHIP is chokin yr voice
i
sing
redemption songs
through
AAAAAHHs and OOOOUUUMMMs
& rebel chants of Ogun,
do tonguedances of Isis to
drumbeats of oshun
that liberate verses
once deemed as curses
til this ritual becomes a religion
cuz
grrrrrrrrl
u
are
THAT contagious

our ears
are
souls seekin salvation
crowin w/ crucified tongues
bleeding tears cryin
"come save us"

WORD
u
ARE that JESUS
ISIS
YEMAYAH
sojourner garvey &
MANDELA
or Harlem's Shining Star
MALCOLM
u are miles coltraine monk and taylor dayne
diana ross and kurt cobain
u r the fire that rages through pages
of papyrus and dead sea scrolls

grrrrrrrrrrrl
in yr name souls were
bought and sold
but by yr spirit
they were freed

in yr name fires were set
and books were hidden from seeds

in the shadow of yr power
some people fear yr transgressin
dismiss true expression as trash
and pray for empty blessins

but ur language runs free
unlimited by dictionaries and
bright with possibilities
u spill skies into galaxies and
blur borders with heaven
u motivate hatred and love
ur freedom makes the world leaven

and i can shout combinations of u
in yr homage but i'll never fully
reflect yr capabilities

so i shout yr names on the
backs of clouds and
send them off at the speed of sound
blanketting your power around and offering
only
to be yr transmitter
cuz
grrrrrrrl
u weave me
thru
yrself
seamlessly
u breath me
thru yr
space
timelessly
when im in
yr
voice
i
seem
to
flow
mindlessly
