Number the Black Stars

Call the Black Night
an all-star cast
with a black light
in a dark Trojan horse
 to our enemies’ gate

Someone is keeping  
us somewhere  
against our wills
 
Unless we  
finally listen  
 
to a genocide
victim’s daughter
 
Corrie Ten-Boom’s
father
 
asked us to be
stars together
 
Instead of  
yellow stars this time  
we have black ones  
 
Let us all
be label-lords
 
and be  
black stars
together
