ABSENTIA
Poem by Vernon J. Davis Jr.
Author of "
Love Is The Beautiful Black Woman"
(Inspired by
Pearl Jr.)
My name is ABSENTIA
but, I'm not absent.
However, no one seems
to see or hear me.
But I'm everywhere.
But, to you all
I'm nowhere.
A nothing woman
satisfying your perverted dreams.
When you need me,
then you see me.
But only with your polluted vision of
My Eternal Black Beauty,
exploited for your lustful
gain of pleasure,
your manipulative pursuit of
My Greatness,
which you are afraid of.
My name is ABESENTIA
but, I'm not absent.
You will see Me,
but, properly.
And you will definitely hear me
Roar.
My name is ABSENTIA
and
I am not!...
Absent.
