body politics

identity politics

love is patient, caring, and kind

except for when it comes to gay lovers 

and street lovers working in dark alleys

civil rights extends to cis-gendered bodies

but not to trans-bodies (of color)

whom god despises despite loving all

and all can be forgiven if they’re cis-gender, heterosexual, and believing.


equity, not equality

my mama and her black jesus taught me that the race is not for the swift

nor the battle for the strong/ but for those who endure until the end

but what happens to us who are shot down and killed by police?

what happens to the bodies murdered and dismembered by bigots?

how do they endure when their lives are cut short/

they receive no justice/ and the holiest of holies is too pure for them
