Inspired Poem:



the office dress code is business casual

my pants are civil, dependable, grey

the shirt, once a flirty tangerine,

is now a faded hue of her fiery self

like brown skin that’s lost its luster

beneath the white cast 

of UV protection



but these earrings,

these earrings

they do not fade

they are real

these earrings 

twisted and dangling

against my face

are all I own that feels like me,

like the me I don’t want to forget.



when my twisted gold earring falls 

onto the subway tracks 

at 53rd & Lex, I know 

it is gone forever.

I imagine the rats make a god of it

bow their pointy noses in worship.

In mourning, I remove the other idol

and place it in my bag.

and at home, in a drawer

and when I move, it moves with me

from the attic apartment in Queens

where I can hear the mice in the walls 

searching for a god to worship.

to the 3rd floor walk-up in Brownsville 

where the loss feels heaviest

to the home on Long Island 

with three bedrooms and two baths

and one earring in the nightstand,

a reminder that I am a Black woman

who never wants to lose herself 

in business casual 

in the big city

on the train tracks

to the starving rats

who idolize twisted

and dangling gold.

like me.
