thoughts on white supremacy
we was probably possessed by the white demon,
probably ingesting the white semen,
probably confessing to white heathens.
we’re right leaving.
You have exhausted my heart
Mother fucker
You have exhausted my heart
My personal emotional treadmill
Cross trainer
Work out class
Where my ribs shred apart
Like liquored memories
Each tear of bloody love muscles
Pumps toughness towards uncirculated consciousness
A drum line of curling blossoms
Cracking, rusting
In the nectar of anger
That prescriptions say is weakening for your health
You have exhausted my heart
Mother fucker
You have exhausted my heart
Like a parade of capital pro-life big screens
I am the widow in the web
Snatching her own children for snacks
And snarling at the blistered reality
Of all the shoes that get to walk away
While I am hunched over in the sinking mud of cannibalism
Quietly grinding my teeth to gum
Cat nail points, knife to tongue
Patiently polluting
With tar torn from my own throat
A voice box sliced into hexagon pieces
You have exhausted my heart
Mother fucker
You have exhausted my heart

Of all the art forms, poetry is the most economical. It is the one which is the most secret, which requires the least physical labor, the least material, and the one which can be done between shifts, in the hospital pantry, on the subway, and on scraps of surplus paper….As we reclaim our literature, poetry has been the major voice of poor, working class, and Colored women. A room of one’s own may be a necessity for writing prose, but so are reams of paper, a typewriter, and plenty of time. The actual requirements to produce the visual arts also help determine, along class lines, whose art is whose. In this day of inflated prices for material, who are our sculptors, our painters, our photographers? When we speak of a broadly based women’s culture, we need to be aware of the effect of class and economic differences on the supplies available for producing art.Audre Lorde, Age, Race, Class, and Sex: Women Redefining Difference (via reticent-romantic)
