Momma braid my hair
Twist corn rows straight with ancient dexterity.
Agile fingers beautify Dahomey Queens Ghana Girls and Soweto Sweethearts glide as they stride with high royal cheek bones.
Momma braid my hair
Sitting between legs that
Birthed this world
Your kind of fine started at the beginning of time
When thunder came from gods and rain meant life.
Momma braid my hair
Plaited heirloom birthright pulled tightly
Momma braid my hair...
