Say despite all the churches with their unlocked doors and outstretched strangers’ palmskin, I hungered still —squandered when, fell through like a crumb, I sat waiting for discovery or disintegration—something marvelous teething at the surface—a crumb, devotional, religious ecstatic closer to being worthy Desire me ruthless and naked but still in my Sunday dress you opened the window—we humid and slept open into dreaming, yes, conduit. Conduit or nothing. Conduit or bust. Nothing or busted. Hug the breakwater’s edge more the grit, my fingers—whorl, the inches of all concrete make miles of this low, walled city. Pretend expansive with me like ocean. River. Lake. Bodies.

{excerpt from [A Crumb in the Cobblestone—Tell Me This Landscape Darkened Without You]} by Jerika Marchan

Desire me ruthless and naked but still in my Sunday dress you opened the window—we humid and slept open into dreaming, yes, conduit. Conduit or nothing. Conduit or bust. Nothing or busted. Hug the breakwater’s edge

more the grit, my fingers—whorl, the inches of all concrete make miles of this low, walled city.

Pretend expansive with me like ocean.

River. Lake. Bodies.

After feeling the weight of life, feeling stuck or trapped, it’s a balm to imagine oneself as better, faithful, gracious, heroic—all those aspirational things that might fall beyond our grasp.

can you recommend poets that are women of color to support pls!

I had to physically tell myself no! after this started turning epically long. A few women of color poets to consider and some of their poems and books that I’ve enjoyed or wish I had right now.
