Girls!

with thanks to Danez Smith

 

All I need in this life of need is my Girls.

Bad bitches be smokin blunts at the beach girls.

She/they beatcho ass when you ma’am girls.

This mug don’t owe you no pronoun nor apology.

Girl I miss the way you hold the back of my neck.

Keep me from mollywhoppin hoes.

Knock me back into last week. I needed to take a seat.

Bring me into the world I tried to take me out of.

All I need is box braids, acrylic that don’t crack.

Sparkled Hello Kitty lighters and bright green eyeliner. My girls!

All I need is my girls and their names to be said.
