In my dreams I am fire and subduction. I am mighty. In my sleep I am
the Darkness that crawls from the jungles and has given White men
night terrors and erections since first they ventured into the
jungles. I am the cunt that will devour the whole of humanity and
laugh. I am a Goddess, older than time and mighty with blood lust. I
dream, I dream and lay smiling into my pillow, a hand cradled between
my thighs.
When I wake I am not mighty. I am soft and small; I am only a tired
woman. In the mirror I see not a creature fueled by blood and cunt
magic, I see brown skin and tired amused black eyes. A pretty girl
with a feral mind; I tell myself some day my dreams will come true.
