On A Low Note

On a Low Note

Com­mon­place whores slip eas­ily from lips;

Plum cherry or some dizzy­ing shade of

Brick. You loved to suck on fla­vor­less lip–

Stick. I miss my addic­tion to Chapstick.

I miss the love. Gen­uine. Deeply Felt.

ABOUT THE POET

Hi there, I’m Tynisha Leon, founder and Editor-in-Chief of DASHEEN mag­a­zine — the online des­ti­na­tion where cul­ture feeds imag­i­na­tion! I am a cul­tural war­rior first and fore­most; and for me that sim­ply means that I am a light bearer for all things intrin­si­cally cul­tural and Caribbean. If you seek to inno­vate, pro­mote and/or con­tribute to posi­tioning a Caribbean peo­ple and gen­er­a­tion most pos­i­tively then link me! Bless!
