Jabber-Walk

Kindra M. Austin sings a warrior song at Blood into Ink.

Blood Into Ink

I was a colossus in the center of the room,

but when I saw you see me

and

expose

your cavernous mouth,

I’d creep into the corner—

cry like Alice.

You’d always been deft at

making me

small.

No more yesterdays.

Jabber-Walk

at me,

breathing obscene ‘tween seething teeth.

Jab.

Jab.

Jabber-Walk

beat drops dope ‘neath your feet,

and

I

dig.

Come at me

one

last

time.

Taste my steel.
