 (Ursula Rucker)  
 Muffled sound of fist on flesh  
 Blows to chest  
 No breath  
 Air gasps  
 You ain't nothing but white trash, bitch!  
 With each hit, each kick, each...broken rib  
 Crack, Crack!  
 Bones are crying  
 Mommy's crying and bleeding  
 And pleading  
 And then...  
 Daddy wants to fuck  
 Dick hard, swelled with power rush  
 And as if all that wasn't enough  
 Mommy's seven months heavy with birth  
 As...Daddy grunts and cursed drunk nothings in her bloodied ear  
  
 (singing softly)  
 First...lullaby  
 First...Son...will...ever...hear  
 And never forget  
  
 Mommy almost bled to death when she have him...finally  
 She'd already lost...three  
 Uterus-bruised, shredded, and weak  
 >From being daily beat  
 And Friday nights were the worse and...  
 Daddy never came with flowers  
 Instead he spent hours at some corner spot  
 With some bar pop named Cookie  
 Putting his thing down  
 Soiling Mommy's sheets with...  
 Sweet...talk shit,  
 Cookie's cheap lipstick,  
 Hair grease, sperm, and jezebel juice  
  
 To hell with the good news that...  
 He was a father for the first time  
 His thirst for wine and women  
 Clouded his vision...  
 No warm welcome for mother and son  
 Just...  
 The rank smell of ass-crack, funk, and cum  
 But Mommy's prayerful strength-her best defense  
 She...burned the dirty linens  
 Made a fresh bed  
 Laid sleeping First Son down  
 And never made a sound  
 As she purged her scourge  
 With birth-blood and quiet tears  
 Watching as her fears and love and sacrifice  
 Lie there in his soft skin and new life  
 Breathing, dreaming, fresh from God's eye  
 Mommy's little survivor  
 Like...her  
  
 Mommy called crazy and scorned  
 'Cuz she two more born  
 One boy soon after  
 The girl much later and...  
 Although they were both sung the same lullabies of hate  
 Her...First Son, the first one  
 Whose...womb-world was profaned  
 Came of age playing street games  
 With Stewie, Rezzie, and Little Brother  
 'Till his heart start to wither  
 In pain and shame  
 Blamed Mom for the wrong she let Daddy do to her  
 And him...  
 Let...sins of the Father cause his Innocence to wander  
 Found out amongst thieves  
 Chose to squander his dreams  
 Stopped believing in himself  
 Become prodigal with his life  
 Make impossible shit right with...  
 Gang-ties, crime, lies  
 Erase wise, woeful words of Mother  
 Replaced them with absurdities of others  
 Who had also lost their way  
  
 Played a different kind of street game now  
 First Son plunged deep  
 Speak street-family vows  
 Espouse no causes but his own  
 See, he couldn't protect Mommy's neck from Daddy's grasp  
 Or...protect Mommy's ass from Daddy's wrath  
 Couldn't shield her ears from...  
 Daddy's foul-mouthed, liquor-breath jeers  
 His only defense-served be confidence  
 Brown bottles housed his swift descent  
 Phones called cops on block frequent for his shenanigans  
 Now...Daddy and him twins in addiction  
 Driven to false-hearted heavens and friends  
 By liquefied demons  
 Had become what he despised from Conception 'til End  
 Destined for a demise  
 Survived nine lives of staying high  
 Conning, jewelry-pawning, arrests, theft  
 Womanizing...only for money, never for sex  
 Bullet in chest, baseball bat to the head  
 Left for dead  
 So, eyes wide and glassy  
 Speech...slowed and slurred  
 Lips twitched with caked-up codeine candy  
 And mouth corners one December 24th  
 Mr. Hide and False Friend  
 Took final ride to suburban supplier  
 Shots were fired by the gray man  
 With shaky hand  
 But not shaky enough to miss...  
 Hit...Lost Boy in back  
 So-called Friend runs for door  
 Leaves First Son blood-born  
 Lying alone in blood on cold floor  
  
 Death was the cause of...  
 Returning to Innocence Lost...  
  
 Baby 'Sis awake for dawn on Christmas morn  
 To Mommy's sobs and shakes  
 Daddy's silhouettes of regret  
 All past, omitted, and absolved by lost  
 As they clung to each other
