is hella blk even when all you wanna think about is feminism or poetry & never racism & we cant hold court cause your hands too small to talk about the world that got all my blk feelings in it & how too much blk talk make you uncomfortable cause you only wanna deal w/the labels that afforded you such a privilege whereas you dont have to talk about all this blk & all this woman & all this blk woman & all this inconvenience & all my poems are about all this blk & how my daughter learn from my mistakes so im good w/the blk (now) & i love my blk every day so she know she can love & be loved like this if only by herself & her mama & her daddy & thats enough especially when the world dont know how to hold blk bodies right most times & sometimes its not the world but someone claiming friend & how the world aint got to be bigger than your house to mean its your everything & it shake you & how that dont mean all women be bad or blk or woman & how them good names dont necessarily mean family or kin or friend or safe & all my life i walk in it & when i say it i mean the muck & when i say muck i mean what you are afraid to name & when i say name im calling the haunt of hands & mouths & triggers & ropes that killed our blk leaders & assaulted our blk mothers & lynched our blk sons & refused to publish our blk literature & negated the literature & presses that gambled on this blk thought & when i read i look for reflections that remind me how beautiful the blk struggle can be & i know i aint got the right to be tired so i know you aint got a right to my feelings or my time or my network or my poems or my friends unless i give you entrance & sometimes you got to take back your parts & im learning to be careful w/my things & im learning what breaks in me may not come back the same & the same dont mean its worse but different & i only want to be the one to remodel my different upon my choosing & not because inconsiderate folk wanna break my shyt cause they broken & i dont walk in nobody house preparing to crash they china & i need that type of care when someone walk in my life cause im convinced folk rather crack open your skull to see why you shine so bright -- its like they aint neva seen a brilliant blk sky before
