    "Ain’t your mama never told you
    how black women collect the world,
    build other bodies onto their own?
    No earthly man knows the solution to our hips,
    asses urgent as sirens,
    titties familiar as everybody’s mama
    crisscrossed with pulled roads of blood.
    Ask us why we pray with our dancin’ shoes on, why we
    grow fat away from everyone and toward each other."
    Patricia Smith, “For Aretha”

    my-jumpball:

Bits and pieces of poems come to me through the entry shafts in my consciousness, large beams of light, and sometimes I am ready to work with them, to shape them, or to let them work with me, shape me. O Word, make of me what you will or give me the wordsmith’s worthy hand to shape you into something we both can admire. Is this what language and poetry are ultimately, things, entities not things, embodied thoughts from imponderable origins as meticulously trivial as two Reese’s cups on the stand at a checkout counter in a supermarket or the complete wish now come true of something simple yet pinned to the corner of the universe, a breath, a hand unnamed by struggle but scarred with inscrutable joy, and is this a question or is it the light itself tapping tapping tapping silently?

    "I know [the poem] is working when it hits me in the gut. When I’m writing or when I hear someone else’s poems…It’s a very visceral experience."

    "My first priority in a relationship is not to fall in love, but to establish trust, camaraderie, and mutual goals. Without those, the fiercest love could burn my life down like a flame unchecked. With those factors fully engaged, they set the parameters and romance becomes a blaze bound by the standards we’ve set."
    Original quote (via almost31women)
