Nature vs. Murder
Cool enough to sleep with the sliding door cracked
Sung to slumber by the crickets
Vibrating lullaby
Second story apartment
The balcony isn’t too high
The screen doesn’t lock
What if someone scales it
Catches me by surprise
Its inherently more dangerous
To carry womanhood between your thighs
Tonight I’ll let the wind kiss my face
And hope I live to see the sunrise

!! “It’s inherently more dangerous/to carry womanhood between your thighs.” So unfortunately true. Also love the sound of “sung to slumber by crickets.”
