White lilies.White dress.White peep-toe stilettoes, simple.White pearly necklace.An open casket.
You’ve studied, calculated, foughtFor positionRecognitionA place at the table set for menBy women who understoodTheir place was gentle…
A poem by Fọlábòmí Àmọ̀ó
Poetsthey are wedded to silenceand the fading light.They use their words…
Bulletproof,of course,until the first bullet gets through.
