Hoodoo
Spell number one is the gingerbread brown splashing around in your eyes Your San Diego smile slicing open like an orange Your eyelashes curling into question marks Spell number two is your voice spilling down my spine like a runaway tongue The feather of your breath brushing my neck Your fingertips skating across the skin of my chest Spell number three is your name how it slips between my lips like a nipple Softening into syllables that collect in the corners of my puckered mouth. --DJ Renegade As taken from the poetry anthology Catch the Fire!!! A Cross-Generational Anthology of Contemporary African-American Poetry edited by Derrick I.M. Gilbert (a.k.a.
