SONLIGHT

Back-to-school at 29

need Degree bottom line

Creative Writing Women Write

swore t’God saw the LIGHT

Off to class Saville Hall

sweater weather (LOVE the Fall)

Second floor room 19 B

pitter patter DESTINY

Walk in, see all girls

mind wanders doubt swirls

Teacher savvy well-cut clothes

armpits sweat decompose

Still time t’sign Add/Drop

find anoth- Suzanne STOP!

Strong women sit up straight

ALL are worthy EMULATE!

Animal Dreams first assignment

Holy Writer realignment

Codi Homer girl dismayed

life highlighter memory frayed

Final day called aside

cross bridge I will guide

Women’s Studies UMB

Final Grade DIGNITY

Shook hands fond goodbye

double doors clear blue sky

Heard his voice YOU WON’T be going

when I fucked your ass I left a baby growing
