Page 17 - LOCKDOWN POETRY

-------- lockdown poetry --------

… out of rage and spaces

… out of page and stages

Bleed over things and people
Just like how we have soaked you into blood

And drowned you with slurs

Just let your vagina bleed

And breath

And scream
As the only evidence that ‘You Lived’

CHILD… bleed so that his-story doesn’t erase

Scriptures of YOU from YOURSELF

And declare you nameless

Name-less… less…name
Unknown… un… known

Anon… anonymous… bleeeeeed!!!

And… should some fool dare to rip you apart

And invade the view of your frame
And should some boy choose

To stone

Stab

Hang

Drown

Beat
Bash you again… flood him with your blood

And bleeeeeed all over him
