"love yourself in your lists"

The link above is to a video for "love yourself in your lists," the final poem in "Ghost In Anthill" (digital book) and also appears as a spoken word interlude on the album "Sidewinder." Inspiration to write this came after reading the first part of Toni Morrison's "Beloved." The question I pose when I read it is to imagine that you have just gained your freedom for the first time in your life.
