WOMAN

when U finally find her treat her kindly for she has crossed deserts whose names cannot not be found on any map, but those women share with each other over coffee and rage survived the slow genocide of invisible citizenship, that no man, whose lips have not been sewn shut - can understand and knows things - U have yet to even consider how to birth a future how to bind a wound and why the tides, obey the moon

ALWAYS

Always leave at least one door in your heart open so joy has a way in and fear has a way out.
