Centerstage
You read from pages
Judged
by snaps and claps.
Recite.
Scribbled lines in blue ink
Soul like salt and lime.
Wave the Black flag.
Hope the man can see.
Can understand.
what lies beneath.
Nervous speech.
Anger.
Burning.
Deep inside.
Volcano.
Release the Mind.
Staring at blank walls.
Come one, Come all.
Eager
to hear
with virgin ears.
Spewing forth
Ash and Rhyme.
Waiting to erupt.
While curious faces
watch
The Mic
Silent.
Step away.
Sleep again.
