did you ever get the feeling
of crystal morphine addiction
ever felt the sky
pushing the gravity to friction
looked up in the night
just wishing to take flight
because you were something more
yet, you felt you couldn't soar

i want to chase a bird
maybe that's what it's like to fly
i'll go so high
you'll see the stars in my head

curls, deep, back to the bone
tiny, red boned, dark
after dark
black girl,
you can fly
fly so high,
you'll touch those stars.
