Legacy,
I see home in the action to reclaim spaces that have falsely + strategically imprinted our black lives
My grandmothers mental imagery of a white man, traveled generations from the imagination of another white man who
Set fire my kind, believing fire will purify my black
BLACK (webster definition) of the very darkest color owing to the absence of or complete absorption of light; the opposite of white.
refuse to handle (goods), undertake (work), or have dealings with (a person or business) as a way of taking industrial action.
the color of coal or of the sky on a very dark night.
On a very dark night I am flames to the atmosphere
What you do in my dark has been exposed
A fire consumed in artificial spaces misconstrued and saturated by white flight
Awaking from a slumber , a million times, a million deaths,
Blood on the lips of contracts, designed to forever hold our peace
Your Idol is fictitious, a fragile figurine
Black is the focal point
Whiteness pretends to be the majority but is the negative space
This art work souvenirs relatable intangible value something that you can take home, because your soul recognizes home in this work
