she is.

she is
jill scott d’angelo bilal and eric benet,
blackstar maxwell badu and goapele.
least she would be if they
ever got together to play,
if they knew the beat her heart drummed to
every day
a mixtape in her honour
to capture the rapture
in her voice
or her kick that prepares me
for her smile that (en)snares me
and her kiss that cymbalises
just how much she loves me
in E-flat
as she lays her (hi)hat down
with me.

she is.

my favourite song
my most memorable verse.
