Building together, visions of liberation
Us two dear friends and colleagues
Brave spaces
Decolonization of our mental health systems
Frantz Fanon
Then
Slipping innuendos into somatic healing
You suggested we meet next time in a motel
Was that -
Wait what?
I'm close with your wife and kids
could it be
a translation error?
I ruminate
The next time we speak
You are curious how you ended up
with so many intersectional queers in your life
(like me, I'm thinking)
who want your people to be free
And you never got to really explore
With a twinkle
You say you want to see me drunk
I shut you down like concrete
Make it stop
Make it stop
I hope we can laugh about it soon
Like we usually do
You know, surviving genocide
Fucked up power dynamics
How we could wield weapons
And choose not to
like adrienne marie brown says
We Will Not Cancel Us
Me colonizer
You patriarchy
Again I genuinely don’t know the best approach yet
so here it is in a poem for now
prayer for it to work out
