Forgotten Black Woman

Chrysanthemum stitched dress

Warm color contrasting cool skin

Blue-black and swishing, she rocks,

Swinging arms.

Ardent tremors take over

That soft body. Dirt boulevard

Uninvitedly kisses her cheek.

Shackled and steeled, face

Printed and plowed; pedal

After pedal passed by her eye and

Salted water met that street.
