Lix iyo toban (Sixteen)- 'Messiah'

He isn't it-

He wont kiss your swollen belly and gently trace the stretchmarks with his eyelashes

He wont run with you out of the fire escape and help you find your junkie brother in Byzantine just off Crenshaw

He doesn't lift an eyelid when you have to take nameless men into your bedroom for foodstamps

He doesn't dream thirsty past his corner




You know that,

He would kill you in a hot Arizona minute

For his red paisley bandana

Yet you still kiss his 3 tattoed teardrops

Everytime you make love
