Cunning Linguist


Evening with you was magical,
the sort that is had
when the presence of your Delight
has taken many sunsets
to transpire.
I sat quietly,
feet to the stars.
My patio, imbued with the scent
of Honeysuckle in bloom,
the warmth and humidity
of a summer rain.
Listening.
The song of cicadas in whispering,
"kiss her ...
    kiss her ...
       kiss her ..."
Lids lowered,
limbs lengthened
in anticipation. 
Your lips met mine,
and infused me
with your
life.
"kiss her ...
    kiss her ...
       kiss her ..."
My lips met yours,
and savored
the
nature
of
me.

News Network

News Network
(c) 4/21/2011 - Aina J. Powell

Slimy white-controlled media
Slaves.
Pimped to lie down,
They lie in wait –
For instructions from Ol' Massah
Who has whipped them into
Shape.

Coiffed and impassive,
Talkin' 'bout your taxes.
Hair that doesn't move
While mouths shoot
3 whoppers a minute.

They know you're hungry.

Engaging you in subterfuge,
While saying
nothing
at
all.
Consorting with the
Holes of trust
That they've chiseled into
Your mind.
-Until their shit
can't be shoehorned
in lovely discomfort.

You know the only way to flee
Is to
turn
off
the
TeeVee.

Still trapped within
the Vortex of Dumb,
appealing to your rage.
Your ass is owned,
The deed has been done,
and you are their slave.
