We do not live
through our entire
self at each
instance of our
bodies
in an absolute space
of our bodies
We are sometimes
knee
sometimes foot
sometimes lungs
sometimes liver
sometimes membrane
sometimes uterus
sometiemes anus
sometimes nose
sometimes sex
sometimes heart
sometimes saliva
sometimes urine
sometimes aliment
sometimes sperm
sometimes excrement
sometimes idea
We are not only
dispersed throughout
our bodies
We are also
dispersed
in the outside
of things-Antonin Artaud
‘In The Life’ by Essex Hemphill
Mother, do you know
I roam alone at night?
I wear colognes,
tight pants, and
chains of gold,
as I search
for men willing
to come back
to candlelight.
i’m not scared of these men
though some are killers
of sons like me. I learned
there is no tender mercy
for men of color,
for sons who love men
like me.
DO not feel shame for how I live.
I chose this tribe
of warriors and outlaws.
DO no feel you failed
some test of motherhood.
My life has borne fruit
no woman could have given me
anyway.
If one of these thick-lipped,
wet, black nights
while I’m out walking,
I find freedom in this village.
If I can take it with my tribe
I’ll bring you here.
And you will never notice
the absence of rice
and bridesmaids
