shame

Beware the Preacher

Beware the Preacher

your prison bars wilt
with our Guilt.
nothing’s the same
without Shame.
where you gonna point
now that we’re gone?
how you gonna
get along?

to Deflect

to Deflect

i look for me in the dark night.
what do i see?

a fire.

a liar burns, twists and turns
in the light, points and screams
shame, tells me i’m the same.
i turned the lock. don’t knock.
don’t promise a better day.

run away.

Note to Whoever

Note to Whoever

said they want to tap that have at 
a first crack of        purity      surety 
and sent that girl down the road
tipping on  wobbly heels with 
squeals of spinning wheels
shady deals        touch         feel         kneel 
swallowing hollow pride
to       die       of       shame
playing by the rules at the mercy of fools
like you 
maybe one day you too will rue
the error of your ways and 
think of something else to say

I loved this book. I picked it up in the Albuquerque airport on my way home after attending my father's funeral. Ms. Harjo speaks eloquently of birth and death in the telling of her story of becoming the fierce poet and musician that she...

The Albino Album
by Chavisa Woods
