For the City that Nearly Broke Me

Reginald Dwayne Betts

A woman tattoos Malik’s name above
her breast & talks about the conspiracy
to destroy blacks. This is all a fancy way
to say that someone kirked out, emptied
five or six or seven shots into a still warm body.
No indictment follows Malik’s death,
follows smoke running from a fired pistol.
An old quarrel: crimson against concrete
& the officer’s gun still smoking.
Someone says the people need to stand up,
that the system’s a glass house falling on only
a few heads. This & the stop snitching ads
are the conundrum and damn all that blood.
All those closed eyes imagining Malik’s
killer forever coffled to a series of cells,
& you almost believe them, you do, except
the cognac in your hand is an old habit,
a toast to friends buried before the daybreak
of their old age. You know the truth
of the talking, of the quarrels & how
history lets the blamed go blameless for
the blood that flows black in the street;
you imagine there is a riot going on,
& someone is tossing a trash can through
Sal’s window calling that revolution,
while behind us cell doors keep clanking closed,
& Malik’s casket door clanks closed,
& the bodies that roll off the block
& into the prisons and into the ground,
keep rolling, & no one will admit
that this is the way America strangles itself.

Imagine "For The City That Nearly Broke Me" and it's all songs about Tulsa  To be fair though, if I had spent that much time in fucking Oklahoma, I'd feel broken too

its definitely her poetry book name, not a album. we all know she likes to change titles so it might not be 'behind the iron gates' anymore. if it was an album title i think it would be 'for the city that broke me' c

Tho ‘Nearly’ is the most essential word in the title. Without it, it wouldn’t have a turning point.

I truly love Iron Gates, it's got a more fortified sound aesthetic to it, and honestly, a lot more cold sounding, like a feeling was once warm but now wintered. that and how one of the cocc cassettes was 'graphed on the beach. in tandem to one of her insta vids where they're by the beach 

to the city just seems a lot more specific and narrow-directional, whereas the latter, that was the last confirmed, feels to me at least, more fruited w myriads more of  possibilities and topics. 

after arcadia, it'd kinda just feel a bit redundant after she's already seemed to move past that, which yes she's got a lot to say but at the same time. it kinda already seems a bit beneath her if im bein honest. it'd be a different case depending on the tone but idk. maybe elevation'll be the middle ground. IF. IF. this is even anything to be confirmed.

Okay following the john donog revelation, I would like to manifest the following vibe for LDR9: serene siren queen in her castle by the sea, v mermaid motel (aka) + EAP’s Annabel Lee ❤️‍🩹 + HEAVY nirvana references

 

and what I want, I get

remember when honeymoun 'pranked us' like 2 days ago with the 8 demos. this is obviously fake... i think there might be a message with the misspellings, and i dont feel like lana would name an album that, maybe a poetry book not an album though.
