As a black Woman, I was told not to be fast

Because in a world of blonde hair and blue eyes

The hardest part is

Loving even when there is no

Love being returned

It's a fine time to say goodbye when things had just got real

After nine whole months of love ...

God is simply love

Anything outside that is

All sins of the world

Silence takes over

Fussing and fighting

You're throwing things

even porcupines

know love—

Where you are, I am;

Where you go, I will be there:

Love’s an epitaph.

Steaming with thirst,
