Exo Black






I made love to Tallulah with a black desire
in a white bed pristinely purged               of black.

The children are black,
reflecting black,
like              the suns shadow
                     on a wishful black summers fantasy.  

Our apartment is a black wonder
in a picturesque
urban doll house complex,
the only black corner
in an irresistible white space
the darkest slot/                               a black ruin.

The light gushing through
couldn’t redeem our
black features/                       it wasn’t our black sun,
                                                      nor these our shadows,  
                                                      but the suns shadow.

Outside everyday,
we’d attract a
fleet of white scorn;
they believed we came from 
our estranged slave niggers
who stained the atlantic black,
who’s conclusions
were that of                       black.
