KINGDOM DOMESTIC

                                    A woman is shifting between worlds

                                    Dancing in her dreams, dredging through life

                                    With her tiara and mop

                                    Cape, crown and dust pan.

                                    Weary with the wisdom of everyone’s problems

                                                      REBIRTH

One time a phoenix

                                                Fell from the sky,

                                                The heat knew what to do,

                                                Ashes made her new.

                                

 Oh heat—

                                                On this day of Reckoning,

                                                A new game plan,

                                                Fix the drought,

                                                Face the man,

                                                Fall a little.

                                          THE WAR WE FIGHT

Rumbling words that brew,

Tumbling time and sparks of heated air,

Hyena laughter bubble-bouncing there,

Can you feel it, the fire on my face.

                                    The ring of beasts are circling, they can see it.

                                    Queen Bee Me had a ripe rage waiting

                                    With a hot plate of fist for her face,

                                     It founds purpose on flesh.

                                    Must have been the war we fight among “friends”.

                                    I blame the air for the fire, a girl for her judgment,

                                    A man for his sweet tooth,

A day for its timing.
