MY BODY IS MY HOME

  • Jasmine Pierre

Poetry Performance for Late at Tate Britain Online.

My body is my home
But its foundation is cracked
Leaky floorboards
Creaky stairs
gushing water
Burst pipes.

It doesn’t feel like I belong here
Constantly in a tug of war
Wrangling weeds over grown in the garden.
Dust in all the rooms.

Nobody knows how it feels
to be housed here.
