Break my broken heart even more. Goodbye @NtozakeShange - my feminist and multicultural mother inspired me to read her works and then went to see the original Broadway "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide / When The Rainbow is Enuf." I was 15 and I am changed forever.
somebody/ anybody
sing a black girl's song
bring her out
to know herself
to know you
but sing her rhythms
carin/ struggle/ hard times
sing her song of life
she's been dead so long
closed in silence so long
she doesn't know the sound
of her own voice
