[Featuring Ursula Rucker]
2
(Ursula Rucker)
3
Muffled sound of fist on flesh
4
Blows to chest
5
No breath
6
Air gasps
7
You ain't nothing but white trash, bitch!
8
With each hit, each kick, each...broken rib
9
Crack, Crack!
10
Bones are crying
11
Mommy's crying and bleeding
12
And pleading
13
And then...
14
Daddy wants to fuck
15
Dick hard, swelled with power rush
16
And as if all that wasn't enough
17
Mommy's seven months heavy with birth
18
As...Daddy grunts and cursed drunk nothings in her bloodied ear
19
(singing softly)
20
First...lullaby
21
First...Son...will...ever...hear
22
And never forget
23
Mommy almost bled to death when she have him...finally
24
She'd already lost...three
25
Uterus-bruised, shredded, and weak
26
>From being daily beat
27
And Friday nights were the worse and...
28
Daddy never came with flowers
29
Instead he spent hours at some corner spot
30
With some bar pop named Cookie
31
Putting his thing down
32
Soiling Mommy's sheets with...
33
Sweet...talk shit,
34
Cookie's cheap lipstick,
35
Hair grease, sperm, and jezebel juice
36
To hell with the good news that...
37
He was a father for the first time
38
His thirst for wine and women
39
Clouded his vision...
40
No warm welcome for mother and son
41
Just...
42
The rank smell of ass-crack, funk, and cum
43
But Mommy's prayerful strength-her best defense
44
She...burned the dirty linens
45
Made a fresh bed
46
Laid sleeping First Son down
47
And never made a sound
48
As she purged her scourge
49
With birth-blood and quiet tears
50
Watching as her fears and love and sacrifice
51
Lie there in his soft skin and new life
52
Breathing, dreaming, fresh from God's eye
53
Mommy's little survivor
54
Like...her
55
Mommy called crazy and scorned
56
'Cuz she two more born
57
One boy soon after
58
The girl much later and...
59
Although they were both sung the same lullabies of hate
60
Her...First Son, the first one
61
Whose...womb-world was profaned
62
Came of age playing street games
63
With Stewie, Rezzie, and Little Brother
64
'Till his heart start to wither
65
In pain and shame
66
Blamed Mom for the wrong she let Daddy do to her
67
And him...
68
Let...sins of the Father cause his Innocence to wander
69
Found out amongst thieves
70
Chose to squander his dreams
71
Stopped believing in himself
72
Become prodigal with his life
73
Make impossible shit right with...
74
Gang-ties, crime, lies
75
Erase wise, woeful words of Mother
76
Replaced them with absurdities of others
77
Who had also lost their way
78
Played a different kind of street game now
79
First Son plunged deep
80
Speak street-family vows
81
Espouse no causes but his own
82
See, he couldn't protect Mommy's neck from Daddy's grasp
83
Or...protect Mommy's ass from Daddy's wrath
84
Couldn't shield her ears from...
85
Daddy's foul-mouthed, liquor-breath jeers
86
His only defense-served be confidence
87
Brown bottles housed his swift descent
88
Phones called cops on block frequent for his shenanigans
89
Now...Daddy and him twins in addiction
90
Driven to false-hearted heavens and friends
91
By liquefied demons
92
Had become what he despised from Conception 'til End
93
Destined for a demise
94
Survived nine lives of staying high
95
Conning, jewelry-pawning, arrests, theft
96
Womanizing...only for money, never for sex
97
Bullet in chest, baseball bat to the head
98
Left for dead
99
So, eyes wide and glassy
100
Speech...slowed and slurred
101
Lips twitched with caked-up codeine candy
102
And mouth corners one December 24th
103
Mr. Hide and False Friend
104
Took final ride to suburban supplier
105
Shots were fired by the gray man
106
With shaky hand
107
But not shaky enough to miss...
108
Hit...Lost Boy in back
109
So-called Friend runs for door
110
Leaves First Son blood-born
111
Lying alone in blood on cold floor
112
Death was the cause of...
113
Returning to Innocence Lost...
114
Baby 'Sis awake for dawn on Christmas morn
115
To Mommy's sobs and shakes
116
Daddy's silhouettes of regret
117
All past, omitted, and absolved by lost
118
As they clung to each other
119
Knowing...
