Ambling

I seem to have inadvertently switched my hamstrings for a pair that are several sizes too small. Ouch. Tried stretching them out by ambling around Antony today. They've got incredible trees in the gardens there. Simply beautiful.

Beauty – Grace Nichols

Beauty

is a fat black woman

walking the fields

pressing a breezed

hibiscus

to her cheek

while the sun lights up

her feet

Beauty

is a fat black woman

riding the waves

drifting in happy oblivion

while the sea turns back

to hug her shape
