A black woman to feed my spirit

© Andrine

I want a woman to feed my spirit

A black woman to feed my spirit

Black inside and out

When I see her

I want to see charcoal fire ashes

Houses burnt down

Machetes

Revolution

When I lay my hand on her

I want to feel the raggedy

Roughness of the mountains

The rocks hurting my naked feet

Scars on her tummy

Bumps on her breast

When she menstruates

I want to see the blood going down her legs

River latibonit river

Fraying her way to populated lands

Carrying down the sand

When I touch her wetness

I want to feel the scream

Of all the women fighters before me

Marie Jeanne, Claire Heureuse, Catherine, Désirée

When we finally come

Together

When we finally come

Together

Mape mande si nan pwen granmoun o nan lakou a

Map antre o nan lakou a

Mape mande si nan pwen granmoun o nan lakou a

Bonjou manman m

Ponjou pitit mwe

Bonjou manman m

Bonjou pitit mwen adye

Map antre o nan lakou a

Mape mande si nan pwen granmoun o nan lakou a
