Black Beauty At Every Table
©CaliLili™2015AllRightsReserved

surveys the territory
terroire as the french they say,
because its about the atmosphere
how
it feels itself
wills itself
into the vine

onward now

old sadnesses
fade off
stage right
doglegging
backwards into their gloomy sheath

still
sharp
Incriminating the innocence

But for the black beauty
Black Beauty at every table

they might have pierced
the fruits before their time
spoiled the nectar before the wine

Naw son

it was the beauty
the black beauty at every table

that spoiled
Yo no good kinda fun

you’ve got
a no good
kinda fun
Misogynistic Mista

yo hater ways
is done

But for the beauty
The Black
Black Beauty at every table

yo hater ways
They might have won

surveys the territory,
terroire as the french say
Because its about the atmosphere
how it feels itself
wills itself
Into the vine

And this terroire
Is mine.
