i am not afraid of men only of desire / i am afraid of loneliness & its persistence / i am afraid of where i come from / & where i am going / i am afraid of my body / my sculpture of harm / & i am afraid of what i crave / who i crave / & why i crave / what i crave / i am most afraid of who i am becoming / with you / you of white-picket fences / & golden retrievers / & children ignorant / of the agony of other children / you of food deserts / & welfare checks / & dead black mothers / i am most afraid of who you are becoming / with me / i am most afraid of who we are becoming / with each other.
