On July 2
2004 I flew into to NY with a friend. Lorrie was to follow 4 hours later but
missed her flight,... The mission for the night was to go to the Nuyorican so
she could read. 3 of us made our way to Nuyorican and awaited a call from Lorrie
to see when she would be landing. And another call for me to meet with Amel
& Laru Larrieux. Lorrie called... her dad would come from Jersey picke her
and her boyz up and then bring her to the Nuyorican. The doorman and a poet
helped me with directions and she made it in time for the late night set.
My other call came while she was en route. As opposed to 7am I had to be
at CBS for 3:30am.
We all decided to go together. we just knew there
would be a lobby or something so it would'nt look bad on me when I brought my
friends along. Alas there was no such luck. 6 hours later we watched Amel
perform live in the studio no less than 10 steps from us.
Lorrie asked for
an interview for the E Literary cafe and got it.. We taped the interview took
some pics and left for some well needed rest.
Lorrie went to Jersey and
I stayed in NY the rest of the weekend.
Lorries job in Miami is 5
minutes from my house so on many a Thursday night she would come over change and
we would head out.
She was Single and childless for the first time since
she was 18. her divorce was almost final and the kids were away for a month.
from July 2nd to August 26th 2004 Lorrie LIVED she had the Cafe up and running..Southern Fried under her belt she was an
official Poetry Community member.
Not the persistent little girl who
damn near forced me to let her build me a website when she first came on the
scene. Mellow Dramatic Mondays was close to her house she became a part of the
team quickly and was always ready to help out. She recited her first poem @ THE
VOCAB and has been spytting ever since.
Lorrie the woman came into being
in 2004. she was determined to not live in Fear anymore and she tasted life as
she wanted it for an entire summer. Southern Fried, Amel Larrieux, KRS One she was a force to be
wreckoned with. and in one month she did more that most of us do in a year. She
spoke only of the great things ahead and kept the the other things secret she
spoke of her abusive experiences with a smirk as though they were past and not
present tense.
I should have seen a sign, should have been a little
nosier, should have gone to the house more often....we all ask ourselves how
something so horrid could happen under our noses and no one knew enough to speak
up.
It's funny you can have a stranger hospitalized for fear of them
doing something to themselves but you can't press charges againts someone for
abusing a friend.
There is a war on our daughters FOR REAL.....and we
are the enemy cuz we are unable to protect them from selfish lovers and violent
relations and from the fears that keep them quiet....
On Thursday August
26th @ 2am .....Lorrie came home after leaving a poetry spot where she recited
the her
last poem. by 3:30am Lorrie had
GIVEN the ultimate SOMETHING UP her life was taken brutally as her
children lay asleep in the house..
