| The Women in Me I see my future Through Zora Neale’s eyes. Harriet leads me there, feeling for God’s marks on trees along the odyssey. I trace the footsteps of Sheba across the Sahara, and soar over Kilimanjaro. Sowing my seeds along the Nile, I harvest the Daughters of Hannibal, the Sons of Nefertiti. I fight by my man like a soldier priestess, and he builds pyramids to my glory. From Sappho to Maya Angelou I’ve written my own legacy in history. I am Shakespeare’s Dark Lady of Sonnets, For even the sun and stars owe their beauty to the sable sky, And I, my warrior spirit to Nanny of the Maroons, my grace to Cleopatra. I am Isis, The Black Madonna, Mother, Progeny, All. (2006) |
