“STONE Go inside a stone That would be my way. Let somebody else become a dove Or gnash with a tiger's tooth. I am happy to be a stone. From the outside the stone is a riddle: No one knows how to answer it. Yet within, it must be cool and quiet Even though a cow steps on it full weight, Even though a child throws it in a river; The stone sinks, slow, unperturbed To the river bottom Where the fishes come to knock on it And listen. I have seen sparks fly out When two stones are rubbed, So perhaps it is not dark inside after all; Perhaps there is a moon shining From somewhere, as though behind a hill— Just enough light to make out The strange writings, the star-charts On the inner walls.”

“By now, we understand That white supremacy & the despair it demands Are as destructive as any disease So when you're told that your rage is reactionary, Remind yourself that rage is our right. It teaches us it is time to fight. In the face of injustice, Not only is anger natural, but necessary, Because it helps carry us to our destination.”

“Breathe in, breathe out, each second a gift One conscious thought, a grain of sand on the beach But with it comes power, to do evil or good To lie and cheat, or enlighten and teach For in the end, I came and I went My only hope being, that my life was well-spent”
