WOMAN

sometimes,
I think WOMAN is the closest I will ever get to heaven
So, forgive me
if I praise her skin
drown in the shades of her heart beat
sing her blues on every stage like it’s a pulpit


How can I not appreciate her war?
See scripture at her gates?


Woman got lessons
They hang on her hips
Get stirred into her pots
They pop off her lips between profanity and prayer
Even her “fucks” are soaked in starlight


Dear woman-
You supernova shit talking in your glory
You are one of the reasons I still believe in God
