♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ The idea of her warm, brown body, long stretching under his hands.

It's a righteous want.

She's become another way to talk about skin, the world having mewl of her, born line by line down the page.

Run and tell everything, every truth you ever knew, about Black Lucy Negro.

Say she is the loose light, say she is the root. Say she ate at his table, say she at at all.

Say she, say she, say she.
