Preach, Woman
Do not tell me about your
Calling from God
To heal even a corner of this world
With words
With fingers touching
Grabbing
Reaching into the leprosy of hate and fear
And then tell me that God
Would have you disappear
That God would dare unbreast you
What God would silence your woman story
Who can sing like bird
Better than bird
What will clean the air more
Thorough than tree
Mountain will not apologize
For being in the way
Ocean has yet to make amend
For the souls that it has swallowed
We adjust to the night under moon
And her womanist ways
She does not offer disclaimer
When she steps naked to the sky
For not being sun
And so why do we beg forgiveness
With all we have to give and say
We carriers of life and world
Spit shine your uterus
And set it on the pulpit
Calling from God
To heal even a corner of this world
With words
With fingers touching
Grabbing
Reaching into the leprosy of hate and fear
And then tell me that God
Would have you disappear
That God would dare unbreast you
What God would silence your woman story
Who can sing like bird
Better than bird
What will clean the air more
Thorough than tree
Mountain will not apologize
For being in the way
Ocean has yet to make amend
For the souls that it has swallowed
We adjust to the night under moon
And her womanist ways
She does not offer disclaimer
When she steps naked to the sky
For not being sun
And so why do we beg forgiveness
With all we have to give and say
We carriers of life and world
Spit shine your uterus
And set it on the pulpit
