Kniphofia America


I can’t rapture the science. our ears deafening. our eyes reluctant. (there was music such sweet cadence by remarkable ear-bites.) such outstanding believers, to wonder about motive, where one segment runs our country. by nectar rich figs to have loved like rabbits or to have given dearly by disappointment. our shadowed hearts our distrust where we must feel good. I looked for consistencies. I gathered the fragments. I determined the best for this culture. indeed. I heard a woman. such elegance such articulation where Love is ivy league. it was quick deciphering it was our nightmare where we must address white males.
