in the mirror
of her eye
she sees a cyst
a pictorial poetic image
through the mist
words of hate
on a poem list
her posthomous anger
manacled to her frail wrist
she who lives
in the shadow
resurrecting the ghost
of an english racist
she who emotionally blackmails me
my injured arm twists
she is white she is right
she persists
forgotten
erased on the copy book of her heart
thoughts reminisced
all her sanctimonious salve
i resist
an open palm
the mound of a venus
becomes my clenched fist
black and white as poems
breathe and live
yet as poets cant mutually co exist
lynched in louisiana
in absentia..on her hate list
