City

by Vikki Owens

Wheres my mind at?
Where's my hands
to touch you,
never mind.
Never mind the body.

City of calmness
where you gone to?
City of industry
and steel.
City of heartfelt wishes
where you been at
when I needed you.

Jayson, I been a bad
bad woman to you.
Where are my pictures.
Where are their places
in my head.
Where your mind at
when you make love to me?

City of bones
wheres your hunger at, girl?
City of calamity
see it all falling down?
City of complexity
where you been at?

Wheres my lies gone?
Wheres the blood when
I've known that its been flowing
over
this City
of flesh and anger.
