bodies spin like globes
below 14th street
shapeless in the way they probe
stopping is no option
john dewey-eyed women who reveal ethnicity like cleavage
and the ones who occupy men like public parks
master-baiting accents;
fingering the native watermark
arms thrust in front of barricading black
uniformed massacre handlers
trained to hold the landless back,
face in the pavement
split faced women
crowds of them
all true-blue bruised
full of suicidal grace
bleeding sweat and quiet
we can not afford to be loyal
did they forget how brown bodies were used
this country was not built on fertile grounds
they raped us
and skinned us
to enrich the soil
the crowd spills over like indigenous blood
a familiar pigment
america hemorrhages in zuccotti park
