I lay with francis in the margin. Lyrics by Fred Moten

2014

I lay with francis in the margin.
my plan without surrounding
was in tact. my shift was extra
vagrant. my grain was terrible
and in decision was immigrant
and trans, I’m just so sensitive
and flighty, but francis curls me
into violet cradling and reading
to prepare for bordering and a
burthen for my numbering into
violent edging. francis, who’s so
careful in the sight of his mama,
in her recital of handing, in her
unsold morsels, keeps straight
to the ornament’s advance, man.
his lists are like knives and his
tongues, oh my god, are sweet as
maths. we’re like westerns in a
togetherness; viv richards is our
accident and unforeseen exam.
