I AM
thick hair blown by a wild wind
soft skin kissed by a torrent
and I have a secret.
Not a dirty secret
like, "Dont you ever tell anyone where he touched you" or "Please don't tell Daddy she's your lover"
A sacred quiver,
An earth whisper
In a grandmother's heart.
Gifted
to mother,
daughter,
granddaughter
Over and over again
For centuries.
Until you whispered it to me.
I AM
thick hair blown by a wild wind
soft skin kissed by a torrent
and I have a secret.
