the fact is
that I don’t hate any body any more
i went through my mean period…
just like that i woke up one morning
and looked at my self
and what i saw was
carolyn…
i saw a Woman. human.
and black.
i felt a spiritual transformation
a root revival of love
and I knew that many things
were over
and some me of – beauty-
was about to begin….
