black women breathe flowers, too.just becausewe are taught to grow them in the lining of our quiet (our grandmothers secret)does nor meanwe do not swelter with wild tenderness.we soft swim.we petal.we scent limbs.love.we just have been too long a garden for sharp and deadly teeth.so wehavegrown ourselfvesintogreenhouses.
