My life is a Morse code of
scars and happenstance.
Do you want to know me?
I’ll sing you my blue notes.
Let you lick salt and sugar
in equal measure from my
skin. Give me your hands.
Under this silk dress lies
the vernacular of a heart
scarred and crisscrossed
into meaning.
-Tosha Michelle

i ve seen
some like you too
not to make light
of your own fight between light and dark
love is not lust
so if you raise your skirt
as a sign to flirt
that is your rationale
your body
and your mind
be kind
to say why
and what you need
for me to heed
your sundry happinesses!

Tosha this is really, really excellent I think you speak of an entire world not just a body, and yet a body also. Your writing always makes me think and always leaves me wishing I had thought of what you thought of and written it as well. You are so talented. This is beautiful.
