Restrained
Written for [scribbled over] his girl
* a line from Some Call it God by Jabari Asim
To sit here stifled
in segregation's shackle
in the shadow
of your stapled to
on-assaulting sadness, I
wishing I was a super-healer—
or—ultra-doctor able
to defy the laws of mortals
and pull of the phenomenal
and restore to good health & bliss, I
detest being detained
and restrained by prison
longer than necessary
to be there w/ and for you,
like hunger is supposed to be fed,
beauty is supposed to smile,
the closer I get—these days
ebb longer and I try
to coerce myself
a diswarring to unite
out union, I would take on
your pain and combine
it w/ my pain so you'd not
be in any discomfort
or displeasure, how I look forward
to the materialization of the worth
of words and pleasing you, at begalling
light as bright as music's promises,
we'll make a way—
