"Going Bad"

This blood red sunset

Reminds me of the mangos

Going bad on the counter


Their music so loud last night

I couldn’t sleep so I asked them

Nicely to turn it down

And instead they screamed obscenities

And called me names I can’t repeat


Tonight when they’re good and drunk

I’ll sneak up from behind

Their hard rock blasting

And throw them into the trash

Double-knot the drawstring And take the bag to the curb


Tomorrow’s not trash day

But some raccoons moved in nearby

And I want to get off on the right foot

I come in bunches Box chalk full We all clamor and cling Yet you still pull I look like my sisters Like my cousins too Until you pull me...

 
 
 
"My heart and yours"

Heartbreak at nine Your words in my head Nails bit short I rot in my bed. Sweet promise of love How could you leave! I lay here to die...

 
 
 
"Shut up. "

Whimpers of too young lips. Tired from the screams and sobs. Tired of saying no.
