Before my second

birthday


My father

came upon Eagle,

Eagle had a broken wing


She was so damaged

She could not live long

this way


My father tenderly

wrapped Eagle up in a blanket

and was off to the veterinarian


The veterinarians did all

they could

but Eagle did not

make it


Eagle had

passed

only minutes

when the power to the building

suddenly

went

out


Outside

Owl

had blown

a transformer

when he came to sit

near

and respect Eagle


This is my first memory.

I may be a shadow

But I sense your quaking muscles in the dark

Because I'm part of the night

just as I am part of the day


I can smell your fear

I can hear your heart


Swish

Swish

Swiiish

Scaled tail


My eyes glow

In

The

Dark


I wear white

I wear black

Dripping blood

Dripping sweat


You can't see my swagger

You can't hear my rhythm

But you'll taste my venom


I cross your bridge over

And over

Ain't nothing to see there


I can find you anywhere

You don't even know I'm here


Stalking you through the city

Riiitiiitiii

Riiitiiitiii


Foul your smell


Stinky house

No disrespect

But that spice weak

weak as fuck


30 rare

Bloody and blue

I'll send you back

No matter the cut


Three points for what--

What?!


We got all the shots

We got all the thoughts

Get ready

To get got

There are many paths

to spiritual

clarity

It's like floating on an

ocean 

the current could carry you

there

or

you could paddle

with it

or 

against it


It's all part of the journey


A wandering soul

bumps along like jazz

sometimes it takes a guide

to hear the music


Mine is like a sunflower

she follows the sun

like a sea lion

Beiking peacefully on the shores

waves crashing all around


She has a tropical mind

in a rainy climate

she's a beam of sunshine in winter

having absorbed all the sun

from summer


She brings books to me 

to guide my spirit

to guide my mind


She's unleashed

the infinite


She's shown me

the otherside

of the looking glass


Tuned in to her frequencies

it's like jazz

to a seasoned mind
