“Women Are Not Roses
Women have no
beginning
only continual
flows.
Though rivers flow
women are not
rivers.
Women are not
roses
they are not oceans
or stars.
i would like to tell
her this but
i think she
already knows.”

“one thing I don’t need
is any more apologies
i got sorry greetin me at my front door
you can keep yrs
i don’t know what to do wit em
they don’t open doors
or bring the sun back
they don’t make me happy
or get a mornin paper
didn’t nobody stop usin my tears to wash cars
cuz a sorry.”
