Like Rifles for Deer by Rasha Abdulhadi

I grew up a hunter and served as an Army Ranger. / I grew up a hunter of brown bodies and served at the pleasure of empire's frontier.

Invocation at the Schomburg by Kassy Lee

On the terrazzo floor, I cupid-shuffle with a friend / who, when I was young, fed me mooncakes / while I spent mid-autumn, in-patient psychiatry, / just down Amsterdam Avenue, from where, / now, on your ashes, Langston, we dance.
