Again and Again and Again Lord

The lump in my throat makes me admit it, admit it around the corner of my mind

every time when I hear that lord

Caution tape I carry and paste it, paste it around my heart

every time when I hear that lord

Those chains on the staircase I bind it, bind it around my feet

every time when I hear that lord

The pieces of mirror on the floor I break it, break it around my arms

every time when I hear that lord

The blood of mine in the stomach I spit, spit it around my pages

every time when I hear that lord

Just when I hear that lord

I gulped that lump in my throat when it stopped lord

I scratched out the tape and tore it, tore it around the box again

when it stopped lord

I unlocked the chain and threw it, threw it around the fire

when it stopped lord

I collected the pieces in my hands and carried it, carried it to the jewelry shop

when it stopped lord

I took out the bandage and stuck it, stuck it to the wound

when it stopped lord

Just when it stopped lord

I thought it's gone just when...when I

I heard it again, I met it again, I captured it again, I started again,

Again,

Just when I heard that lord.

Writing helps me stay grounded — and sharing these poems with you helps me feel seen. As a self-taught poet building from scratch, I’m working toward turning this passion into something sustainable.
