for the fifth time this month
you say you’re going to leave him
he calls you a cunt over the phone
then walks the three miles to your house
and kisses your mouth until the word is just
a place on your body.
i don’t know what brings broken people together
maybe damage seeks out damage
the way stains on a mattress halo into one another
the way stains on a mattress bleed into each other.

i gut fruit with my mouth
push tongue into black belly of papaya
peel lychee with teeth
bite into ripe pear
suck on stone of mango
all of this, over the kitchen sink
barefoot
middle of winter
sticky hands pushing hair away from face
moaning into sweet flesh
the whole time
your name flat against the roof of my mouth.

god is good.
you might think it’s too late but it never is
He is everywhere and the truth of it is in your
lungs kidneys heart brain flowing in your veins so
every step you take you take Him with you.
wandering hands darkness so much heat in the backseat of his honda
one thing leads to another he’s fucking you so good
period late mind breaks just like the condom he rammed inside of you
looking into the mirror can’t recognize the blood shot eyes
kids giving birth to kids how am i gonna tell my momma?
stranger, thank you for your smile
it reminded me that life is worth living.
war children
you can’t feel is cos you’re seventeen and spoiled
parents an education food a bed
never had to deal with daddy’s dead by brother’s bullets
never had to witness momma giving up her own body just so you won’t have to suffer
never had to hold a gun in your hand to save a life
my life
for lives are worth saving
you were never a war child you’re an
ignorant child an ungrateful bastard
you ungrateful bastard.
knives trace blood
down the inside of my thighs
a little girl screams
oh god why
her body is broken
blood looks like a river
i drown in a river
of red.
we love like we sin-breathless
you’re leaving me breathless
shameless kiss me dizzy under the stars
tell me i shine just like my name najma.
there is nothing in the world as pure as this
place a palm to my beating heart and hear this
music.
you surprise me with your presence
i thank god every day for the present
you’re a present
i’m unwrapping you undressing you i love you.
