When I “met” @thatonedood on IG I was so moved by his words and was especially drawn to this photo upon reading his poetry that I proposed we do a collaboration. Here’s our 1st one and hopefully this will be the first of many!
His words my photo…
took a breath
walked alone
balked at tones tryin to define me
refine the
person im supposed to be
took a breath in
then stepped in
paths of pasts marked for my extinction
if fiction or truth
regardless, im in the booth
tryin NOT to be superman
instead caught in a stupor, and
blastin out the confines stenciled in
ones architects cant pencil in
doctors scribblin in
prescriptions for an illness
chilness, the breath i took in
looked in-
side the soul of old sole
dead soldiers between the crevices
red boulders are amorphous
is it the sun or the clouds
is the question im allowed
to ask if im the soul
i cant claim to be
want more than the cracks of the sidewalks
in front of me
to be blunt, i’ve been wearing shades
so i can hue my reality
a fallacy of contrast
lasting past artificial saturation of
my ambiance
the odds be on
4 to 1 for me failing more
often than the sun is raising
luminance of the rays unlikely
to melt the ice littered path
cracked with chasms & canyons
distortions among the bastions
of plaid worn expectations
so then i took a breath in…
