30/30

rattlin’ the cage
wantin’ to break out
like seeking for salvation
in the middle of a drought
hallucinatin’, wonderin’ when
aching wings would spread
laid up — snug in bed
couldn’t picture it
just couldn’t see
how a girl like
was destined to be
movin’ and groovin’
speaking her truth

watch me enjoy
the fruits of my labor
months come to an end
but I’m just getting started
