I have crossed an ocean
I have lost my tongue
from the root of the old one
a new one has sprung.


Fat Black Woman's Poems, epilogue


I have crossed an ocean I have lost my tongue from the root of the old one a new one has sprung.

I have crossed an ocean I have lost my tongue from the root of the old one a new one has sprung.

I have crossed an ocean I have lost my tongue from the root of the old one a new one has sprung.

I have crossed an ocean I have lost my tongue from the root of the old one a new one has sprung.
