“PAYBACK HONEY”

sinner man was busy
smoking
the finest
with the finest

moments of biz
hampered by sweat honey
silent sparks falling
from her flower dress concealed piece

the pastor’s drone had bounced
off her coconut head with
no juice

she was feeling irate
sinner man was feeling her ray
strike–

downpour
on the cattle streets
