duel

February 3, 2010 by lisette Leave a Comment

black white woman
so callous sweet
full of selfless greed
and higher aspirations
she bent and was
straight for once.

dark into light
fades to black
until dawn
she stretched with a yawn
and ran back to sleep
awake in her dream.

white lie
black truth
entangled in
her heart of stone
that runs warm.
bitter sugar
hates to love
the splintered
whole of her.
