Questions For The Woman I Was Last Night - Warsan Shire

how far have you walked for men who’ve never held your feet in their laps?
how often have you bartered with bone, only to sell yourself short?
why do you find the unavailable so alluring?
where did it begin? what went wrong? and who made you feel so worthless?
if they wanted you, wouldn’t they have chosen you?
all this time, you were begging for love silently, thinking they couldn’t hear you, but they smelt it on you, you must have known that they could taste the desperate on your skin?
and what about the others that would do anything for you, why did you make them love you until you could not stand it?
how are you both of these women, both flighty and needful?
where did you learn this, to want what does not want you?
where did you learn this, to leave those that want to stay?

12. Who Loves You More feat. Eric Roberson Produced by E. Jones

I got put on this last night by a boy of mine. Only started listening to it this morning. Not sure on how I feel about the entire Tigallo and 9th project as yet but track 2 is definitely on repeat. I mean, how bad can an album go with Tigallo, 9th Wonder, Pharoahe Monch, Sy Smith, Elzhi, Evidence, Big Krit, Eric Roberson and Zo!. It does have the Little Brother and Foreign Exchange fiber to it, for obvious reasons, of course.

Check it out here when you get a chance.

New Tigallo! New Tigallo! New Tigallo!

Lyrical Affair: Ursula Rucker - L.O.V.E.

On this day
There will be no talk of war
Or politics
Or disaster
Or death
Love is alive today
So we will speak only of love
There will only be love
On tongue
And lip
And in heart
And thought
And it won’t be that Hollywood type of love
Not T.V. love
Not dimestore novel love
And certainly, not mainstream music love
Love
Love
You know, love
Love that has been worked on
Like gardens and term papes
Love that has been nurtured, like children
And well, like children
Love that falls, crashes even, burns
But dusts off, fixes up…and rises
Rises
More brilliant than before
Phoenix love
Yeah, Phoenix love
So, let us speak only of love
Healing love
No herbal or over-the-counter love
Real healing love
Like God love
Like mother’s love
Lover’s love
Like, best friend love
And change the world love
Human love
Humans love
Love soft
Love hard
Bust just love
Enjoy this new garden
Work on it together
And it will be perennial
It will grow… year to year
It will be beautiful
It will win blue ribbons and everything
Folks will come from far and wide just to see it
And wish they had it
Had this kind of garden
This kind..
Love
Love

Oh My Hat & Umbrella!

My love for these hats will send me flying to Europe to Anda & Masha's store. Erykah got me into this hat vibe.

Hats off!

Mmm...Nom! Nom!

I'm craving this deliciously baked cake right now, right here, at this very moment. I could actually take it as far as saying it tastes like the love it was made with. I swear. Go try it.
