Beautiful ones!!!
Daily gratitude is growing my soul! It is an honor to write a poem for Jeter a visionary example who has blessed my life ever since the start of the Mobile Homecoming Project and taught me that we can truly choose our family and watch them emerge! Thanks so much for supporting my dream trip home to Audre! And anyone else who wants to chip can jump on here: http://alexispauline.chipin.com/praise-the-lorde-st-croix-dream-trip
For (Debra Renee) Jeter
After Audre Lorde’s “Syracuse Airport”
I hear
women from California
need no secrets
just clean drawers
to hold new knowing
I hear
the sun-ready intergalactic
among us know
what one and one makes
in the time of what looks like
too much
or
she who knows her joy
will find it every day
no matter who
is watching
