This morning you were
Clenched like a fist of Amandla
And now you are as wide open
As the heart of a woman in love
Exposing her deepest secretes
To the mercy of a hand that wants
But knows not why!
You are beauty
You are magic
Just when I thought you weren’t alive
You moved!
And moved me with surprise of a child
Seeing new
Yellow petals open wide
Fill up my space
With radiance and perfume
