    “the lost women

    I need to know their names
    those women I would have walked with,
    jauntily the way men go in groups
    swinging their arms, and the ones
    those sweating women whom I would have joined
    After a hard game to chew the fat
    what would we have called each other laughing
    joking into our beer? where are my gangs,
    my teams, my mislaid sisters?
    all the women who could have known me,
    where in the world are their names?

    “won't you celebrate with me
    what i have shaped into
    a kind of life? i had no model.
    born in babylon
    both nonwhite and woman
    what did i see to be except myself?
    i made it up
    here on this bridge between
    starshine and clay,
    my one hand holding tight
    my other hand; come celebrate
    with me that everyday
    something has tried to kill me
    and has failed.”
