“my little demon follows me with joy
she lays still, a little baby boy
and in her room surrounds herself with
spirits cheering on
an endless spirit party
caverning til dawn
a ring of white houses surrounds her room
a string of black blouses encases her bosom
my hands find themselves
sucking the life from her
and her skin begins to cling
tightly to her skull
she has a group of black mammal parts
that sleep on her bed when she gets rest
the rhythm of their breathing
is the beat of all our acts
and the odor they give off
is the smell of whites + blacks
she makes no sense
and i will always be
defenseless in her presence
