And so,

When you say love in revolution,

Does it bare its teeth?

Clench its fists?

Does it scream?

Because,

Since my mothers womb,

To my fathers arms.

I know not a revolution that has not almost died for me,

So I know not a revolution I cannot almost die for.

Part 1. A grandmother I once had, Who bared bending knee to send for me a prayer of all my successes. I try to wash her off my skin, And run her off my thighs. And I, steal the smile she wore and call it mine. Part 2. A grandmother I once had, Who never bended. Who would spit on my flesh and tell me to wash it, Prayed to never have a plague of a progeny like me. I carry all her bitch in between the crease in my brow. And there ain’t nothin’ she can do about it.

If I am to be a day, Let me be a birthday. Let me live a life where I celebrate, Becoming... Again & Again.

Today, A White girl strips me bare, Wears the clothes off my back. Calls it an Urban Outfit. Today, A White girl steals my skin, Calls it makeup, Calls it Beauty under her name but not mine. She is 21, Lives forever. And I Hand her the bag with my voice in it, softly saying, Thank you come again.
