“Crab legs”

Demand your humanity to be respected from self and unto others

Doing more when met with your eyes

I saw a pictures of you 

Rectent, current

Despite you dodging the public eye 

Blinding yourself and others with your light

So that they may really see

My braids sit with the half smoked joint tucked behind my ear 

I don't think I have any spare change in my bag 

It wasn't there the last I checked

But coins to have a magical way of showing up when you need them most 

Change, falling into the self 

Something recurring like going back to the same place in a dream 

Love is a kaleidoscope 

Enamored by each shape and color the spirit rests in 

Where did you go?

Away with her 

Here you’re in front of me 

My waters are roaring, glistening 

You want a calm lake 

Surrounded by beautiful gray stones

That brings you comfort 

Over my beer cap and crab legs 

You used to love my crab legs
