If I did not play drums
furiously
climb cliffs recklessly
risk it all
or too much
confronting authority
of whiteness
unarmed
If I didn’t have love
poetry
writing
I would have killed all
white supremacy by now
undone the police
made whiteness blackness
If I didn’t have love
my implosion
would destroy the earth
just to cleanse it
of fascist ******* whiteness
If I did not spill my soul
every moment
of every time
If I did not have love
