Beauty by Grace Nichols

Beauty
is a fat black woman
walking the fields
pressing a breezed
hibiscus
to her cheek
while the sun lights up
her feet

Beauty
is a fat black woman
riding the waves
drifting in happy oblivion
while the sea turns back
to hug her shape.

    Appreciating the time and energy you put into your blog and in depth information you offer.

    It’s great to come across a blog every once in a while that
    isn’t the same out of date rehashed material. Great read!
    I’ve saved your site and I’m adding your RSS
    feeds to my Google account.
