Her Story

Boogies Point of view.

BOOGIE’s Monologue

sitting on an orange couch hands and fingers locked in together leaned forward legs open wide

BOOGIE

I think what I love about her most is I want to hear her speak. I dont want to hear her perspective from me.. I wanna hear be a whole thing that ha nothing to do with me.. It means something more when it’s about her through her. Her story. Not my observation of her. That’s why I let her be for all these years. I could tell she was building her story. And it had nothing to do with me ..

*REWIND to the Alley after BOOGIE asked to hear something from her. These are BOOGIES INNER THOUGHTS

Geez it’s such a simple blessing to witness her and all her glory. It don’t matter much of what she’ll tell me- man i’m just honored to be in the circulating space of her breath.

To be able to feel her heart beat before she says something next to see her lip quiver before she thinks of something next.

She’s right in front me , and she keeps me on my toes.

You know..?

No one has ever done that. That’s why I wanna hear her tell me something.

That may be a little of my impatienceness peaking through. Cause if you listen to women , observe and really witness them- They’ll always tell you something.

Anyways

I’m trynna take the heat of me cause lawd her eyes and that glare.. has got me dumbfounded

so yea, I wanna hear something mama.

Im sure about her.

She’ll keep me on my feet

Boogie and Sara recite the poem together, afterall this is in boogies view. Hearing ‘her story’ through his point of view. Boogie never forgot the words to this one and couldnt erase how she gave the poem to him.

SWITCHING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN BOOGIE ON THE ORANGE COUCH AND SARA AND YOUNGER BOOGIE IN THE ALLEY.

‘When we come together something magical happens

kurblash and combustion a chemical eruption

we open portals to realms past what the mind can even think of

when we link up things sync up

when we are apart things are aligning

I damn sure trust in the timing

Faith is what brought us together

Dancing spirits is what keeps us together

a gift that keeps giving

somehow we both know we meant to be together

though this feels like a treat .. lot of work has gone in for us to just meet..
