Emerge and See Room

In a new moon

with this phase

feels like I’ve doubled my age

and this pain

now all over my face with disdain

my health remains

my response ability

how I treat myself

will show

in how I speak to cells

I can do this

yes patience is a choice

not your patient

I’ll abort conversation

because of course

with being a black woman

comes with this reservation

so i ask spirit

where is our next destination

she said, rest child
