Heart of Dangerous Light - A refusal of Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness Somewhere, on a virtual journal I spoke of the one person - my person from the start it was she and I, as in the one capable of such powers: can take me out this total absence of light the one possessing such God like powers as to create light and with a flicker, take light making midnight. My person the decider the provider whom carried a passenger a dangerous fetus <a light> all the way across to become The/A fully developed danger with dangerous pronouns: THEY THEM THEIRS A daring for so many while THEY THEM THEIRS has a place in The Oxford English Dictionary! Standing before you by your side - *shoulder to shoulder* breathing a dangerous light Heart of dangerous light! Person <my person> isn’t present to participate in my dangerous vulnerabilities. To engage in them enough to see them as entitlement the entitlement which person, the decider the provider of my dangerous light handed over, so she still lives on... To watch my diverse form of vulnerability to experience/embrace my diversity of survival. As the science and evidence based virtualization, tangibilities of a black, transgender, immigrant In America.

Quarrel 06:23
Woke like a nightingale song in my breast abeating from my heart. Do you hear the trilling away? Can you hear the quarreling? These tormented days these painful days Oooo (2x) Awoke early with sirens burning in my throat abeating from my heart. Do you hear the trilling away? Can you hear the quarreling? These tormented days these painful days (2x) I don't wanna live this way no more I don't wanna be this way no more. Ooouus Quarrel couldn't even end with one evening's trilling, one night's gurgling whistling away these painful mornings.
