part one, of ‘still love.’ — a sonic documentary about the journey and effects of marriage, infidelity, separation, and divorce. through my mind’s eye and my heart’s bottom.

“everybody knows about you, Ra. my family. i talk about you all the time. am i crazy?”

mmmmmm

wedlock got ü tongue tied
up, tossed, tangled and tussling with mine
parting your thighs like comb to scalp
glossing between
the comb my gat
lemme braid your hair, gurl
le le legally u his
but regally we know
the stars aligned for this
again
i knew u before
i said, i, i, i, i, i knew u before
this love feels like we repeating it
like u was my wife in another life
and i wonder if on me you’d cheated then
don’t matter
let me braid your hair, woman
you my moon
eclipse me
cause i do, i love you

now the skies could fall, fall, f a l l
