I wrote a small essay for Sotheby’s about once being evicted and losing my sneakers, and what that taught me about wearing all of my pairs, even/especially if they crumble. Jay Guillion came to my house and took some photos of pairs I love.

When they walk about the daylight, curl up in my grass blades, groan
Damn! these hills is hilling today! It’s the sweetest curse of my name, women
who come from flatlands, buildings that bleed no natural light.

Poetry is the failure of language; that is, the moment literal language fails to contain or describe or define, poetry is the language that crosses the threshold, that makes the ineffable, or inexpressible, understandable

first words Sonya Massey said at her front door were “don’t hurt me”
she was told “why would we hurt you, you called us”
when have those words meant anything when your black and woman in this country
when do those words protect you from not being murdered in your kitchen, in your bedroom, with your babies, or on your lawn
what is “reassurance”, in this place ?
rest in power Sonya Massey, and an abundance of love and power to Sonya’s family on this journey

Finished copies of BLUFF came last week. I just been staring ant and holding my purple Leo child. Devan Shimoyama’s art looks incredible on the cover, @MASpeaker snapped on the design. So proud of the words and grateful for the object. Preorder here: bookshop.org/p/books/bluff-p…
