“…media can be yours/and you can write your own history.”

it’s foolish to think of intangibles

in these times of war

to think of balls unraveling

when we cannot define

love or peace

to think we can overlook

lo que la historia nos dice

en pencar que nacimos

en diferentes siglos

de diferente tiempos, familias

me gustaria haberte conocido

al principio, cuando tuve

noches

noches que el aire del tiempo no ha visto

Poet and scholar Alexis Pauline Gumbs writes, this is a book for those of us who know that love is political.
