The Queen's Court
A Black woman's power
A Black woman's wand...
calls on her to fuel the flame
the field set ablaze.
***
Battles of the wind...
cutting like swords of clearness
she finds her sound voice.
***
Her water cup flows
with emotions and feelings
praying for release.
***
And she plants herself
discovering foundation
in the Earth below.
