Revelation

Dirty Word Laundry

He assaulted me with his poetic prowess. Thrusting me to a rapturous delight, that stung my tongue like salted watermelon, juicy, sweet, and bitterly divine.  This man, this sweet water bandit,  didn’t have to take it cuz I gave it to him, this David to my Goliath, this nigga-He made me walk not run, for there was work to be done, a message to be delivered, and a body to be warned. You see, I chose to be ignorant of his truth, recalcitrant, straight up disobedient, thinking maybe just maybe he’d let me taste his wrath.  And I’d swallow the pain, savoring every last drop of Him.  No S&M, no latex, whip and chain.

Day One: Inglorious Parts of Town

Growing up in Kansas City, MO, I developed a fascination with the non-flattering parts of town. There were always run-down homes, buildings and scandalous alleys I wanted to explore.
