Inside the books
On my crowded shelves
Lives God
Written by women
Who channeled
Their gifts and birthed worlds
I've had the pleasure to travel.
Words that have stripped me
Down to nakedness
And frantically I've searched
My flesh for answers
Stripped my mind
Until I've spoken words
That honored my knowing.
Women
Who have challenged to pry
Open my mouth
And speak my sounds
Into existence.
Women
Who have inspired me
Clamor under rain
And dance self-worth
Women
Whose words
Have
Sat me down
And feed me
Life's cruel beauties
Sometimes their words
Felt crammed down my throat
