I hope she reads this one

Song at Midnight
by Lucille Clifton

…do not send me out
among strangers
Sonia Sanchez


brothers,
this big woman
carries much sweetness
in the folds of her flesh.
her hair
is white with wonderful.
she is
rounder than the moon
and far more faithful.
brothers,
who will hold her,
who will find her beautiful
if you do not?
