Black Woman
Black woman ope'd the back door
and found that she was done,
last night's fire had come to embers
but the blaze had just begun,
On the verandah, all around 'er
bottles, bongs and butts,
calm and still her outside,
but chaos in her guts,
Resolve was mounting in her bones
and soon it'd take her heart,
so on purpose for the last time
she let it break apart,
Then as the morning sun rose
and her tears evaporated,
her soul had closed, her heart had froze,
her love annihilated.
