misrepresented.

the merging of souls can never coincide with venom and caustic words.

love cannot coexist with abuse.

Muitos homens e mulheres da cor da terra Excluídos E com corpos Quebrados E sangrando. Negros e suplicando Negros e quase não mais respirando.

Muitas pessoas de pele cor de mel Batidas E queimadas E machucadas E reprimidas.

Muitas crianças de melanina indo para a cama Mais cedo em caixas apertadas, Playgrounds e igrejas Tornando-se cemitérios e túmulos.

Upile Chisala – Eu destilo melanina e mel

“now that I know

the soft magic of your laugh

and how your body moves like art,

why would I ever go back?

what was before you?”

- Upile Chisala, soft magic.

to the one that birthed us

i wish you had disappeared back into yourself when he showed you he could not love,

and when he destroyed your essence

and made you let go of your being.

i wish you had said, “enough.

the magic and sweetness that resides within in is worthy of nurturing and care.”

i wish i had learned —

and that you had taught me —

what it means to let go.
