Scratching the words for ourselves, carceral
Until their eyes spill barges, carceral
Until they are caskets, carceral
Until they are backed into the abyss and martyred
As if with no theory of the cage we made out okay
Transfigured by the incalculable roll of this chant
We made the hours lie down new vows
How power warm
How exile
How minaret windowed with my child’s eyes
Which are the bright eyes that will burn through
Bars to light my star
What happened one night
And another
And an army of evenings backing into
Those iron circles splitting opening the gates
Of hell and high water there’s no
Word for the next phase of the slave
Rebellion no clinical nudge to double over
Our skin We say the same thing so much
Of all the new touching bars
Your testimony as you can imagine means nothing
Your testimony as you can imagine means nothing
Your testimony as you can imagine means nothing
Your testimony as you can imagine means nothing
Your testimony as you can imagine means nothing
Eyebrows looking like two wings flying away The Dozens
Deuteronomies
Knowing property is theft
So that in being stolen
Our very presence became criminal
And that is a trap of errant legendary
Today can handle
M a a f a of the slick edges
Of capital punishment and three hole punch crows
Empty a clip in code let it go
