Hey black girl, it’s been a while.

That Cherry trailer seems bigger

when the dreams of riding ponies 

still make you smile.

Oh, black girl, can you stay a little longer 

we missed the little boots dancing in 

the rain, roaming through pastures

catching fireflies on warm

summer days.

 

Hey, black girl, will the 

time catch the beat,

so the curve in those

hips don’t miss the 

hands of unity.

Does your world

run away as you

chase after your dreams,

reversing all the steps

as if these legs haven’t

carried the weight

of a nation.

Tell us why you laugh even 

though no jokers are in 

your hand-rooted to nurture

the soul of the earthiest specimens, you 

bare strength to fight against a 

familiar toll. These fees are charged

at birth Queen, but are only rejuvenates

the riches within. Little black girl 

as you reflect upon sisters blood and 

brothers sin, you realize 

the woman within.

 

-Sincerely a little black girl.
