Day 5
So these pictures were take at an abandoned house by Rubben Mabuku.
He's a strictly black and white photographer and he told me that he doesn't do photo shoots, he does concept shoots.
He
wanted to capture me as a poet and he prefers picking places still in
construction because of the varying textures but I had different ideas for the
location.
When
I got the pictures back, they did what he's out here to do - they
inspired me, gave me a concept to work with because yes, sometimes my
poetry is happy and is for the purpose of healing.
But sometimes we have to fall apart before we can start again.

What can I tell you about mine?
The secrets that they hide.
If I told you of my loss, would it change the way you see me?
Would you judge me if I hid behind books, behind poetry?
If I told you that's the best way to both hide and express my feelings
Is with and behind a hyperbole, rhyme, and alliteration?
