"paul wall drives me home after our sade concert date" by Musu Bangura

"paul wall drives me home after our sade concert date" & names me his favorite dime. rubs his hands on my jukebox thighs & bobs his head to dj screw along the lake. i lean into the purple of midnight & take his palm to my cheek. suck in the freezing drip of platinum rings. we sail the shore south in a topless whip, my lollipop mouth matching its lacquer. he, my bourbon smooth guide, diamond dipped & dazzling, sips on the slow syrup of evening. grips the wheel & flashes a mouthful of mansion. serenades me with sweetest taboo & turns the car into a quiet southern storm. my hurricane on 44s, eyeing my heart & sweetening my tea. love is a 2004 vixen fantasy and he is my lone star. we glide on chrome, chasing the glisten of cosmos, riding along the asphalt’s bass. ————————————– Musu Bangaru called us from Chicago, IL. voicemailpoems.org/submit/ facebook.com/voicemailpoems x.com/voicemailpoems bsky.app/profile/voicemailpoems.bsky.social instagram.com/voicemailpoems
