Night Storms
Jason Reynolds

Frantic visions,
Dance upon waters.
Red winds whisper.
Eyes scratched out
Of ugly pictures.
Hands soaked in sweat,
Eyes blackened.
Screaming with the pain of loss.
Dark eternity,
Bleeding poetry-
Marble girl,
Caught in her own cold
Embrace.
Ugly petals
Shed dewdrops
And Bitter tears,
Fall upon paper.
Words,

Spurned out of anguish.
Smeared across pages.
Echoing.
The cold black truth.
