Poems from Ajaa
Daddy,
You are not insane.
I won’t cast you to the ward
& call you unfit for the world.
I won’t discount every word you say
Guessing...
When my boyfriend selfishly asked
A hundred times
Since the genesis of our relationship
To do the thing that guy made me do,
Knowing what...
When my crusted eyes would wake from a nap again,
I’d sag from bed...
