Poems:
in lieu of a poem, i'd like to say
sometimes i wish i felt the side effects
"you stare at fangs long enough, even fangs pink with your own blood look soft."
say it with your whole black mouth
white niggas
i didn't like you when i met you
"it was just my reflection i couldn't stand. i saw it. the way you would break me into a better me."
ii. ending with nothing
"i counted the things used to end a boy but forgot the boy himself."
"i am the most important species in my body."
"sometimes with nothing to say, just to sit on the phone & be alive together for a while"
my poems
"there is already so much trying to end us so let it not include our hands today, let us not be dead"
acknowledgements
"& how many times have you loved me without my asking? how often have i loved a thing because you loved it? including me"
