BITE your tongue


Contempt. curls on the
tip of my tongue
and bites, grinding
against the crowns of my teeth

contempt
burns in the back of my mind
and walks at the heels of my feet

contempt
layers life after love
with a brilliant cunning black streak

contempt
deals with the
world who has forgotten
their ignorance, the poor and the weak

contempt
is the reason
the air i inhale
feels like a foreign fire in my gizzard

contempt
brings out the claws in
my hands the savage in my blood
and the masses…

my heart beats faster---
it’s started


Carry it in your fist, throw it away
