Warrior Women Ntozake Shange
“I’ll always love you in a place where there’s no space and time” I love you because you are a powerful sister friend of “mind”
who designed a place where woman can see the seeds of who they really be
despite the rocks, splinter and flaws, you opened up brand new doors
who took to pen, stage and poignant guts and whipped away the grainy stuff
that shield the eye that false images made -
and placed them in there rightful grave
With kaleidoscope of colors each in their own right you framed the stage for a mighty fight
to look within and not without the beauty you hold without a doubt.
