They are just flesh and anonymity Bones that structure but don’t poke I stared into the open space  Not at his face as he spoke I ain’t pulled or drawn or captivated By any skin that ain’t your shade I don’t need to pluck off because I don’t give Opportunity for other hands to get [...]

Juliet died for her mans, and I’d probably do the same for you. Alpha double plus when your fingers find my hair and move brutally through. Mama said give it time, I did, and right she was proved. India holds the oldest stories, but in our union, time feels a concept that’s brand new. Echo of pasts, but the [...]
