To Nikkita…
POETIC INSPIRATION The sweet draw to be rhythmic, musical, cryptic, metaphorical, descriptive, complex and simple all at the same time. Encapsulating big moments in few words.
RECOMMENDED READING The Alchemist by Paul Coelho.
HOME TASTES LIKE A plate of greens, corn bread, BBQ chicken, mac and cheese, and some sweet potato pie.
Speak and Find Your Self Home
I know so many four letter words.
Love.Hold.Live.Hope.
But “home” is the hardest to find.
Tucked away in the four corners of my jaw,
Can’t say it’s where I come from,
But I’ll speak it where I am.
