Am not writing...am ranting

Am not writing - 
creating a beautiful architecture 
measuring words in teaspoons of rhyme, rhythm, candor 
loading with intertextual metaphors in history and theory 

Am ranting. 

I don't have the luxury 
to weigh 
to balance 
to contemplate 
to think through. 

Poetry is not a hobby for me 
it's a reflex 
when one of you groped and fled 
whistled and sniggered 
catcalled and dragged 

Poetry is not a search for me
it's where i belong 
after each night of violation 
where i curl up in peace 
after draining my tears 

In tiara of words. 
Am not writing, am ranting.
