With These Four: Keep me in Mind

Book Description HTML

With These Four Things--Keep Me in Mind is an ode to power, passion, love, origin and sustainability. "...They are the tabernacle where the scriptures were stolen They are the land where the scriptures were stolen who creates justice, gives justice, is justice in the eyes Of herself, without verdict or flash Women who revere on foot Who don’t know nothing about counting no money but makes it all the way to three hundred and sixty On foot--not using her hands & without a shadow of a doubt The first one to choir rehearsal And they all; always the last to leave--caught up in the ritual of praise; the holy ghost of the music who lurk in foyers & tambourines where the mural speaks When the lights go out The women I come from rub their hands together like Birdman for fire, heat for the house laugh and sing until there’s a rumble in the walls; in the belly of the infinite lasters Wash each other’s feet in lukewarm water Chant, Quote Dance Pray— Sing loudly while steadily bleeding They laugh loudly together Cause the blood falling on them Woman, I’m grateful for your mothership Your chariots of rainbows Whether in black and white or in color Woman, your colors have turned darkness into day..."
