    each one of your fingertips
    exorcise an experience
    the sun brought to me when it
    rolled the night up and smoked it's
    existence...I can breathe now
    ...each exhalation is an intonation
    of me loving the way you love me
    ...blak woman...

    paint me any color you wish
    I am your palette until God wrings out
    the earth of the lakes, rivers, oceans
    drying the land to create a new beginning...
    maybe I'll be your rib this time...
    ...I can breathe now...you fill my lungs
    with hope, faith, and a wind that is blown
    to keep my wings full...
    I stay afloat above all that faces a brother...

    those things that want to bury me
    with a blank headstone /to assume I
    didn't have a story...but I do and you
    the co-author of all that is we...I can flip
    the pages....I can breathe now...each fingertip
    resuscitates my spirit and I can soar...it
    is so phenomenal.

    Thank you.
