post-its

For the Medic:
there were times I hated you
for demanding but never understanding
and when I stopped expecting superman
we stopped the terror of tug-o-war
laying down our burdens
down by the riverside
where my mother died
I know we both wanna cross over
and you helped me to understand
the Father
don't bother trying to understand
I've grown used to just having you listen
And known there are conversations we don't mention

For You Two:
I don't deserve the lucky charms
I remember back when the lil guy added purple horse shoes
And you've forced sugar on grape nuts,
so I've had moments of sweet
before the crystals all sunk to the bottom as expected.
transcend beyond the tracks of salt trails
and the knowledge of hell
even with your eyes closed don't sleep
hopefully you'll find a brother
who will let you know when the arrows are beyond you
I never did.

For Ophelia:
You were the sweetest thing I'd ever known
Sadly, all I was about was the bone,
So I get why you run with bitches.

For the White Witch:
Blinded at your birth
You cannot see your true image
but false fairy tales

For Binti Jua:
Someday I hope you'll be skilled in your super strength
it's uncanny
how someone so strong doesn't know her power
but beautiful
how you constantly choose compliance
You were born in hope of revolution for salvation
How I wish it were mine.

fire and ice
sugar and spice
often you were yin and yang
remember on my two arms you'd hang
and swing; smiling
doing impressions of the superfriends comic relief duo
