April 1/30 "Your very thoughts are poetry"

 Kemet is the thing that most inspires me. I like talking about my mother. She truly is a wonderful woman. I don't talk about her enough. I don't raise her high enough. I should write a poem about her. I have always wanted to write a poem about her and she has always wanted me to but I sacrifice thing I truly want to write about for the sake of slam. It's just stopped working for me.  That was a really good exercise. It felt good to get everything out without having to create a story. Stories are what get people in trouble What makes us embellish, makes us tell the things we shouldn't. I have Tehuti writing in hieroglyphics on my tongue, only I can translate. I have things to say that are pre-dynastic. I am the only vessel by which to say these things may be reintroduced. How dare I latch the stone of my jaw on Tehuti like a tombstone.
