Why they think laws, bills
Never meant to protect
Gone keep truth from us
Getting Caught
I’m done
Getting caught in
Other’s stories
Forgetting all about
My own
Until
I
Have
No
More
Stories
Branches
Branches reaching out
Causally intersecting
I am here for you
Sunflower Blooms
Sunflower blooms with
No shame in its colors just
Saying, “Bees come on”
My Cycles
Start with a fog but
Flow into a wisdom stream
Rooted in decisions
Winter storm
Winter storm willed your
Early blooms harshly to sleep
Out they pop, refreshed
Not Quite Sure
Not quite sure what you
Will grow into but caring
For you is hopeful
Red tips
Sporting those red tips
I ain’t mad at you, naw girl
Sprout yo color proud
Natural Colors
Natural colors exclaim
All shades pretty and welcomed
Nature made fierceness
Spring
Spring trees blooming fresh
Afro greens bursting branches
Speaking boldly joy
