She loves him linoleum cold
Blue flame hot
Lost left side shoe found
Right hand close
Heart to soul deep
Continuum with no end
Continuous
Like last night lonely
He’s too far
That-a-way becomes a divide
Too wide to bridge across.
She loves him our song special
More than a man loves his wife
Just like Christ and his church
Lay down your life
Treat you the way I treat me
Unconditional.
She loves him Tom and Jerry silly
on cartoon sunday
like Saltfish and bakes
on breakfast saturday
revolutionary righteous
artistically beautiful
sappodilla sweet
sink your teeth in
snow cone and ice cream
with every day heat
missed on wintry days
and long nights
She loves him pure
Across seas, greater time zones
And tectonic plate shifts
From the same womb
Out of the same piss hole
Comfort in the same boobs
Of that one earth brown woman
they both call mom.
She loves him
The way Renatta
Loves Renee
