I am louder when I have sex. I am asking more questions. I am asking questions like “why?” and “what happened to make you feel that way?” and “do you feel safe here?” and “what can I do to help you feel safe here?” I know I like to talk; I love the sound of my own voice, but I’m going to shut up and listen more. Clearly, I haven’t heard all that’s been said. I am protecting myself. I am pulling up the drawbridge. I’m asking Black women to pull up the drawbridge. I’m Whitney Houston in the last verse of “It’s Not Right, but It’s Okay.” I’m paying my light bill and taking care of my babies. I’m in the bath tub covered in bubbles and surrounded with candles and good wine and I wish Frank Ocean or Bill Withers or Frank Ocean and Bill Withers were in the bathtub with me but their voices will do. I am pulling the voices of people I desire and love and trust and worry over into me. I am inviting them into the bright dark of my soul. I am gonna live forever because all the money I touch looks at me and says e pluribus unum, out of many, one. I am the water Jesus drank in the desert. I am god talking to herself. I am evicting America from my body and making room in the borders of my black bad bitch body for everyone I was sent into this life to love loudly. |
