Just far enough
For you to remember:
You have legs.

An original poem. By me.
STAY YOUR BLACK ASS HOME
Someone told me there’s a protest;
Black people: this isn’t your zone.
This isn’t your mess
So I won’t say less
Than stay your Black ass at home.

It's all too short and over too soon, so stop waiting. Leave nothing undone, and if (gods forbid) today turns out to be your last, make sure it a good one.
One day everything will be your last: your last kiss, your last goodbye, your last adventure, your last opportunity to make things right.

When anyone asks where I got the cheek to bottle my sorrel recipe, I tell the truth: it comes from the same place I got this sepia skin, these cheekbones, and my other …attributes:I inherited them.
My cheek is generational. I honor the sacrifices of those who came before..
