Throw Down the Earth
You're not a monstrous titan or cultural roadmap.
Black woman, the stars
ordained you as Queen. Rise up.
You're no one's Atlas.

To My Dearest Girl
To my dearest girl: In this world, there is no rush to find a partner. There is no need to rush into a relationship or give your heart away. Entrusting your life to yourself is more stable and reassuring than entrusting it to anyone else.
