I saw a black man
Lick some lost fools birthday—
Cake cream from a white woman’s
Breast today-
I thought it was sweet and reckless and hot
Not cause of their goddamned melanin
Just cause it was good ol fashioned
Human sin
She later revealed to me…
She was an Arkansas woman
You see
She claimed shed never let a black man
Show such affection like that
I gotta say I was at first taken aback…
See I was but thirteen when someone of darker melanin
First touched my hand or sucked my nipples
I told her congrats and many thanks
It’s about time we swim each other’s shores
It’s always better when we meet
Heart to heart
Shed of our stupid skins
Bleeding love for one another
Once as before and always
Again and again
