Below is a list of poems from be/trouble.
a saturday night
an exasperated black woman said fuck it i’ll do it
i’m trying to remember when i started apologizing for my body
and who will be next
the talk
now i play black mama crying over dead son
freedom
i want the world to see
for the nice white ladies on parade
i call you sis because you my sista
some heroes wear their durags with the capes flapping
