Make Up Work is Late

Good Evening!  Earlier today, I tweeted a goal that said, "Update the 30:30 #PoetryMonth blog by 7pm".  It's 7:17.  By the time this whole thing post, it'll be past that.  But it's here.  And there will be more, I just wanted to be as prompt as lately possible.  #love

For 4/5--For Lack of a Better Title

Don’t hold me 

down--

Lift,

    me up

when I 

    stutter step

    soul symphonies 

spittin’ off wing tip

    tip toe’in

    through that, that

    don’t matter no mo’

We gon’ argue

    and 

We gon’ love

    and 

We gon’ raise these 

    babies

    and

We gon’ live & live &

    live

You just can’t 

hol’ me down

you 

    got 

        to 

Lift me up &

 Let me live
