miintikwaI will not prostate myself
to keep your lily white feet safe
you cry as though a single pea
is a boulder
and yet you expect me to carry the weight of your crime
my shoulders bent
my head low
to protect the grace of your neck
Won't you think of the future?
His shining self, so young, so pure
so much more important than me, after all
I was built to take this injustice
inside me, twist it, and birth it clean
Or perhaps it is just a lie
a fabrication written in blood
staining my skin
But you don't see it, do you?
We will bake the bread
braid it with the sins you claim innocence of
pass it through the fires you see as justice
pull the soft innards out and
devour them whole
All the labor
from the first, truest, full of blood and screaming
to the last, blest with tears and wailing
and you still call us unclean?
I stand covered in your blood
and say I am cleansed
for the first time
since that eclipse
to keep your lily white feet safe
you cry as though a single pea
is a boulder
and yet you expect me to carry the weight of your crime
my shoulders bent
my head low
to protect the grace of your neck
Won't you think of the future?
His shining self, so young, so pure
so much more important than me, after all
I was built to take this injustice
inside me, twist it, and birth it clean
Or perhaps it is just a lie
a fabrication written in blood
staining my skin
But you don't see it, do you?
We will bake the bread
braid it with the sins you claim innocence of
pass it through the fires you see as justice
pull the soft innards out and
devour them whole
All the labor
from the first, truest, full of blood and screaming
to the last, blest with tears and wailing
and you still call us unclean?
I stand covered in your blood
and say I am cleansed
for the first time
since that eclipse
