"Moving Day (in honor of ntozake)" Tue Aug-22-06 02:55 AM by ms mimi diva
I try to 'cop a 'tude/ like I don't care/because it hurts less that way/because the risks are so great/the returns so infrequent/because they never love me, but the idea of me/beacause i always said it would be the man that couldn't walk away who would have me/cauze walking is a man's sport/and I have known the stars/cauze above all else I come with my own things and i don't need nothin' on nobody's lay-a-way that i cannot afford
and then--- you.
maybe it is
the ripple of your voice as it hits my ear and I flinch from the reverberation of your pen
or
the poised syllables strong as Armageddon striking me into still
or the fact that you boldly call me out on my own porch them fightingwords pulling me close until the sultry moment sticks to my clenched fists like cologne on your skin
but instead if boxing I pause yield breathe heavily, and lean into the dampness of you.
it might be
the prolific pause of your lips kissing life drowning me in volumes of words I wouldn't even whisper
or
simply that I need to need you
All I know is I'm in that kind of mood right now-- them fine lines are cracking me like the break before the rush reflective gaze is blowing my limbs like trees swallowed by a storm I'm aching for your awe
and
if you stand up in your full majesty if your eyes search to know me if your fingers touch my face tenderly I just might break I just might return I just might be moved
