just rest now
with your heart open
flooding in and out.
unheard longings
deep achings for tenderness
unconditional caring
please
sense my heart leaking
out; all over the floor
please please cradle me
and tell me this is all a
gift

ReplyDeleteThe title of Audre's biomythography; 'Zami: A New Spelling of My Name" is a pejorative word for lesbian in the Caribbean.
ReplyDeleteShe redefined it as " a carriacou name for women who work together as friends and lovers."
So the meaning expands beyond the disapproval, denial and fear of the other - to include a positive and chosen definition of lesbian.
