Here's a piece coming from my book, Dashiki Mentality... 👇🏾

I hung a modern day klansman
With my longest and strongest loc
Carrying the enslavement memories
I have not forgot....
... Like...
branded flesh scattered on grass
fallen from falsely named skeletons
Blood sprayed on leaves like shattered glass
Lifelines of melanin
