8: dear god.

1898: sitting in heaven's skies.

dear god,

i miss the muslim man
who i divided my faith in half for
decided to walk down another path for
he was the brotha i shed blood for
the brotha i drowned
and broke earth for
i danced
i tripped the light
i dove into layers of ocean blue
i died.

just to see him again
so let me now leave
and start life again
please
give me back to him...

1975

there he is dancing
smiling
reaching out for me
with those lanky arms
with that big ass head
'come on baby dance with me'
he laughing
im shaking
thanking
dear god you amazing
for this love over again each life time.

-me.
