in the chocolate here.
They don't understand when
I say cacao just
how deep from within me
the sound of it comes.
They don't know what its like
to put a spot of
darkness on their tongues
and just let it sit there
melting...for...hours.
Instead they say things like
"Boy, da girl rel sweet.
For a negro girl."
Sugar is poison and
cocoa butter makes
all dark choc'late smoother.
All they taste here
is so much bitterness.
