Sky

This is for you,

Woman of the Revolution

in this World

Where the Word means

to Revolve and Return

to the same place of pain, hurt and shame,

under guise of a Radical Name.

This is for you, Woman of the Revolution,

You hold up more than half the sky

in your arms,

like a precious child

you nurture Peace on your *****

cutting your fingers

Piecing together the broken Egos

of delicate Manhood.

This is for you Woman of the Revolution,

The Sisterhood in

Sweeping the floors,

because as far as technicalities,

Men never remember

that safe spaces need to be clean,

and food needs to be cooked,

and Healing must happen

in Comfort and Tenderness.

This is for you Woman of the Revolution,
