Out of the Sea Walks a Woman

Not man, but a woman.

Woman with a womb

Combing the sea, she sees

In retrospect she looks

Afro salt water drenched

Skin glistening sea salt

Beautiful and bronze

White dove overhead

Noon ascending rapidly

Sun-kissed ashy she is

Me her first brother

She my first sister

My other self
