in a lost-found nation

I’ve always admired poems that dare me not to be there, as if my being there was of no consequence; poems that fail to notice me; poems that even actively deride me.

She mirrored a deep Blackness that had little to do with color and everything to do with being a diasporic Black descendant of slaves brought to America.
