After Lucille Clifton

Okra seeds resting

between cornrowed scalps

we braved seas and still never dropped the roots

planted ourselves upon new shores

and watched white men call our crops they own

that’s what happens when you the blueprint and the harvest

bees buzzing across new worlds

cus you the honey

freedom gon’ ring

cus it’s all we’ve ever known

to dance and don’t care who watching

to tell our stories loudly

with full mouths

cus what had happened wuz

to cut up

to laugh ourselves into new realities

to bake the mac and cheeze

to fry the wings hard

to soak the greens

yes, to the old bay, always

no vacancy on earth for the wretched

for the nappy

for the dark

for the Black

freedom gon’ ring

cus it’s was born

right here

between starshine and clay

in these Black bones

BAL

They have convinced you

and all the others

who came before you

that the language of your ancestors

was nothing of value

worth perpetuating and carrying on

-The side effects of removal

The Dance of Two Hearts

You waltzed into the front door

with an electric tuxedo that reminded me of

freshly made pancakes

in the morning and when

You kissed me on the corner of my mouth

all I could see were fireworks

being set up at a state fair

And even though we never made it to the party

our hearts danced all night long

in the closet

where my dress hung

because you never made it.

You stood me up.

Sometimes... neither do I lol.. But this heart of mine does not fear all that comes with Love because it is not love that hurts me; just people.

Mama say

I don’t have to do nothing but stay Black and die!

made me wonder is that we colored folks do

be Black until our eyes don’t open no more

we sing and be Black

we feast and be Black

we dance,

jubilee

and be Black

we hip hop,

jazz,

country,

doo-wop,

blues

and be Black

we Sunday dinner and be Black

we collard greens,

mac and cheese,

okra,

candied yams,

chittlins

and be Black

but do we ever know peace and be Black

do I have to have the talk with my son too and be Black

do we ever get to breathe and be Black

cop-free and be Black

if only they really did leave us to just be Black

imagine the world we’d build

didn’t see a single white soul

in my dream last night

that’s how I knew we was free

Black and just be

For Black Girls Who’ve Written Their Mothers Suicide Letters

she gon’ tell you you’re crazy for letting a man ruin you

she gon’ tell you that your generation don’t know how to keep no man

she gon’ tell you that suicide ain’t going get you into heaven

she gon’ tell you to pray it away

even tho the sanctuary hasn’t swept her into a holy ghost all your life

she gon’ tell you that ya ass shouldn’t have been messing with him anyway

she gon’ tell you that you therapy is for crazy folk

and that you is crazy

and that this conversation better not leave her house

cause in black families we pass down secrets like they recipes

somebody please pass the black eyed peas

that and the lord’s house are the only bowls of prosperity

Black girls, we aren’t allowed to be sad

so when depression turns

loud and angry

then we’re doing it right

following in our mothers

shrink-herself-to-be-loved-by-a-man

footsteps

they expect us to close our throats

when all we can do is scream

although you’ve been told all of your life that you’re her twin

the way she loved you

in scorn

is no reflection of you

cause oh what a lil wine,

candles

and moonlight can do

Black Girl Therapy

We mourn and survive and mourn and survive and still, somehow, always survive through the morning.

I’ve always been an “all inclusive” type of person. I hate feeling left out and hate making others feel left out.
