The Midwife Dream

pulled gently
but the scalp was smooth and cleft
strange I thought but it will be ok

She Needs To Know My Skin Isn’t Whitening But My Hair Is

While the wax is drying I write different endings to our story
They always include the ceremony she suggested
where we lick bee syrup off each other’s fingers

Portrait of a Lady in the Middle of Peachtree Street

you are what keeps us here
life is a race

trauma is a baton
you place in my hands

Streets

No one trusts the city streets any longer, and the streets trust no one either. The buildings, too, tip their gutters to pour their algae onto mute life.

Mud Blood

You can’t place me. I could be any
thing in the summer
when my tan has vacationing ladies
in Williamsburg touching my arms, wet gaze on my frizz—
can you believe I’m from where you are, lady?
