RapeA Poem by Tinasha LaRayéso...i straightened my hair - and it was the first time I hated doing it, the first time I wanted to undo what I did to return how God made me...Black, with kinky hair and tight curls.Sweet satin curls Cascade across my brow Full tresses hang taut and tight Spiral delight Upon my crown I woo you with my waters And honeymoon you with liquid magic Creamed dressings Caressing you with fingers Strong wrists And twists of joints to change you Then heat to blades of life Dead but mine I blow you down And have my way Lay you straight Then take your spiral And flatten it inside my burrow of fiery force The journey took it’s course You are now And forever Transformed Brown And shiny And blowing In the wind And who are you again? © 2011 Tinasha LaRayé |
