Am I my brothers keeper? Inspired by Essex Hemphill
I’m afraid for us black gay men The only time we see each other Is in the darkened night of a club Or the bright white of a clinic
Is there no space for us to talk To search for our brave history Together To be goofy To laugh To cry
Are we more than these parts and snappy one liners?
Can we share in the bounty of our thoughts? Can we be our fathers dreams?
I fear for us I fear for me
