Poem: Black
And the ink that I write into my world
Black as cold hearts
And the hair atop the heads of
Dark-skinned persons
Black as that
Black as the binding that holds the pages of my universe
A messy book with fallen out pages
And taped together inserts
Scattered with scribbled notes
And colorful reminders
To add a little shine to my everyday
It is dark in there
A black night in there
In the peculiar hole in my insides
The hole burrowed into the soft meat
The smooth muscle
That raps on my ribs and dances
In my throat
Peculiar holes
I find them all the time
I used to fill them up after
Scraping out the old nothings, making room
For elusive perfection and complex, short-lived excitement
But now, in this brand new moment
I am learning to just let them be
