for 4/8--Her

Some call her life-blood,
ink flowing from free thought
to unshackled situations of 
frustrations
For some she is coping skill
calming constraint & confinement
of instrumental bad decisions
that left life,
on the limb of institutionalization
With others she offers
slam--
spoken, performed; spittin in
rhythm with roots in 
African ritual
embedded so much in soil
that the DNA of the day
take hold so 
that overlooked stories 
are felt,
more than told
And for others, more
she is love
comfortable & soothing
communicative, non
judgemental, simple pure
and connected--
