Blackout
Blackouts back out until, until
Left for the meantime, we cuddle together
Amen we pray for daylight one day
Christ can only imagine how I miss
Knockout Sunday dinners when daylight still exist
Only when we are together does its
Utter existence make a difference.
Touched by the blessed grandmother’s mother, make my life daylight

-Onji J (Vee Lyrix)

Grown Up
Chasing my imagination’s faces
Hanging from a tree, with my siblings of three
And dancing the songless
Numbers of what used be, now
Gated by a grown-ups
Eternity

-Onji J (Vee Lyrix)
