no warning
grey smoke
dirty teeth infect
my bones
break the skin
to find a home
breakdown
for days for years
breakdown
face down lie flat
breakdown
don’t you get up

(#solidarityisforwhitewomen)
reach your hands to the sky
and form a constellation
so much on your side
extending through
a thousand years
this is all mine
take a moment realize
there is more that you’ll see
so much on your side
extending through
a thousand years
this is not mine
rooftops carry full moons
when they’re rising
audrey tells us stories
we’ve forgotten
long forgotten
remember what you did
born under stars
well-aligned, full of favor
steeples climb high
over white girls

soon you will see
all that we found
lying in wait
under the ground
jesus was a min(e)r
send a ghost to find her
you moved a rock
then you were free
earthquakes stop time

cut from granite monolith
piled stones dressed in robes
mineral memory
all that rises must converge
mineral memory
in quartz body, brilliance cast
past and future incarnate
earth veins bleed brown
under an ashen sky
warriors they rise
emerge from teeth
laid in the ground
by the god of war
layers of gold wrapped in silk
fog lies at our feet
an exhumed cavalry
all that rises must converge
earth veins bleed brown
slow collapse
stories once trapped in stone
now told in secret tongues

hungry mother
her truth twisting grows
yet i decided what was best
hungry mother
made her choices
yet i decided i knew best
where i end
and where you begin
it’s not clear
this fire will burn
through the night
this fire will burn
all our lives
rivers run wide
in my mother’s veins
oceans run deep
in my father’s bones
stay gonna stay gonna run
i see the moon
in my sister’s face
rising above
from that awful place
stay gonna stay gonna run
i know these paths
they’re familiar
not mine

i can’t sleep
anywhere
lie awake
solitaire
watch the clock
dread the sun
hours pass
crash will come
transition
day in day out
coincee
day in day out
ancree
mes jambes ne marchent pas
mes bras ne tiennent rien
year in year outcoinceeyear in year out
ancree
liminal spaces
i travel between
chasing the sun
while i’m on my knees
i travel alone
but to survive
i must go with you
