Who said it was simple? / Audre Loren




There are so many roots to the tree of anger 
that sometimes the branches shatter 
before they bear.
Sitting in Nedicks
the women rally before they march 
discussing the problematic girls 
they hire to make them free.
An almost white counterman passes
a waiting brother to serve them first
and the ladies neither notice nor reject 
the slighter pleasures of their slavery.
But I who am bound by my mirror
as well as my bed 
see causes in color 
as well as sex
and sit here wondering
which me will survive 
all these liberations.

  1. Buenas noches, desde el otro lado del charco.

    Solo quería agradecerte tanto esas versos de Sabines, que tanto me han impactado... ese poema, es tremendo. Nunca sabre como agradecertelo debidamente, Kevin.

    Solo, por si algún día te apetece hablar, te dejo aquí mi correo, me encantaría conocer mejor, al que considero ya mi redentor particular jajajajaja aquel que se esconde tras tan maravillosas palabras. (unanochesinestrellas@hotmail.com)

    Espero tu respuesta y un placer volver a leerte, como siempre.

    Hijo de Caín.
