Poem: It Shouldn’t Take Courage to Love a Black Woman
We, too, desire to bask in the radiance of another’s glory
To be bathed in joy, peace and tranquility
To rest without anxiety and wake without urgency
We don’t need this grace from everyone
Nor do we expect a societal shift out of gratitude for services rendered
But for our men…
It shouldn’t take courage to love a Black Woman
Poem: 63 Today
Your presence was joy to me.
What was joy to you? Was any portion
of your earth time enjoyable? Better
than bearable? Worthy of thanksgiving?
63 today. Each year since you left
I think I know you better than ever
and not at all. Who were you, Terry Ann?
