It’s been a beautiful bizarre

masked with a bashful smirk

a loving rejection

with a slow groove

a morning wake up call

from life.

Channeling the spirit of my born day sistas

Audre Lorde and Toni Morrison

this cycle will be dedicated to

learning

listening

and healing.

I am accepting my Goddess’ call

so that I

can continue

so that I

can discover

just how to give you

nothing less

than what you love
