I am She, jelly thick
wiggle tumble black gold
I am She, blank slate
Tyranny in its best-destroyed state
Forget all nonsense
Gravity bows down with rickety knees
I am Alpha, your Omega-3 oil
Liquefied to blow your mind
Romans are Gods
Greeks are myth freaks
And I? I am She
Bounty answers meekly
to Earth’s guttural call
while crowns slant crooked
and thrones topple like timber
in raw essence of She
The Sun demands orbit
The Moon has primal glow
Yet I?
Fume and spit fertilizer of
eternal She beast.
Author Bio:
Kanika Aina Wright (K. A. Wright) has been writing ever since she could talk. She was always the student who wrote two paragraphs instead of the required one. As the only one in her family with a passion for writing, she is the go-to person when someone needs help with writing a cover letter, updating a resume, or revising a paper. Her writing is an inspirational collage of personal experience, nature, and the power of places and names. She daydreams ever so often about winning the lottery and building her dream house on a beautiful beach shore in Bermuda. K. A. Wright earned her BA degree in English Writing and her MFA degree Creative Writing. She’s received an Honorable Mention in the Children’s Fiction Category from Writer’s Digest, interned at W.W. Norton & Co., and has a published article in a one-of-a-kind online magazine for collegiate black women. Besides her constant rendezvous with writing, she enjoys traveling, star gazing, and skydiving.
