Growing up hard or erect
coming home for the first
time, coming round to the
idea it is over, watching
things swell, growing from
the inside out, we are all
moaning in the alley, they
lion fed from dumpsters
the moon unbuckling
his pants, a star on her bad
knees, the sacrifices night
makes for us, say they
make this look easy, say
you never know dark again
say the sun never rises
say tomorrow bites down
with its gold teeth, say my
daddy goes up in flames
his shifty feet and eyes too
close to a white woman’s
perfumed wrists, she told
me don’t hurt ‘em now, but I
don’t even know how it feels
