Ode To Darkskin Women ❤
11:59
That is me. Not midnight, no
That's the axis, the turning point wherein lies the promise of the coming dawn
11:59
I'm that one minute before twelve am
Those 60 seconds where noir colors the earth
When nighttime swallows all remnants of light
When even the moon bleeds black
I wear midnight on my skin
With skin as dark as the shadows on sunny days
And tones as warm as the center of the earth
I am 11:59
I am draped with night
Clothed in dusk
I'm what God must see when He closes His Eyelids
I am 11:59
Society tries to tell me
That dark-skinned girls stay losing
That dark-skinned girls ain't shit
That we who're bountiful in melanin, also lack beauty
There's a reason darkness restores,
Why it is in darkness that you find peace
And rest for the weary
Why black soothes headaches
And mourners alike
11:59
Parents checking in on sleeping babes
Lovers falling fast asleep, nestled safe in each other's arms
Teenagers slipping in, barely making curfew
Old folks peacefully reliving their glory days
The threshold between tonight's calm and tomorrow's worries
11:59
