Poem For Marsha P. (Pay It No Mind!) Johnson
I found this beautiful poem while searching for archival remnants of Sylvia and Marsha
For Marsha P. (Pay It No Mind!) Johnson
Qwo-Li Driskill
found floating in the Hudson River shortly after NYC Pride, 1992
“You are the one whose spirit is present in the dappled stars.”
– Joy Harjo, from “For Anna Mae Pictou Aquash…”
Each act of war
is whispered from
Queen to Queen
held like a lost child
then released into the water below.
Names float into rivers
gentle blooms of African Violets.
I will be the one that dangles
from the side but
does not let go.
The police insisted you leapt
into the Hudson
driftwood body
in sequin lace
rhinestone beads
that pull us to the bottom.
No serious investigation — just another
dead Queen.
