for elaine philip on her birthday
me and you be sisters.
we be the same.
me and you
coming from the same place.
me and you

touching up our edges.
me and you
be scared of rats
be stepping on roaches.
me and you
come running high down purdy street one time
and mama laugh and shake her head at

got babies
got thirty-five
got black
let our hair go back
be loving ourselves
be loving ourselves
be sisters.
only where you sing
