pulse-line

standing naked for a police line-up

but found wanting, lacking balls

blood poured forth from the hierarches' bodies

melting those nursing on cancerous breasts

black flight

 i should take you away away 

but to where should we go: 

to Frederick Place replaced upscaled 

gentrified 

sealed; 

follow the crowd 

escape with them to suburban-haven

old 

but safer than the graves we left?

i should take you away 

but we 'd return from whence we fled 

cause the cycles of displacement 

will bring us here again
