blackgirl looking at blackbird

daughter of a darker egg
she names herself
blackbird

born so beautiful
the birds fly north

while she waits         lost from
paradise
dreaming of return

time passes
new creators come

glowing like snow
deciding what is
beautiful

they do not mention
blackbird

blackbird
in the dark she rises
on her mutilated wing

moans and dips and sighs 
no strangers to desire 

poets rhapsodize 
of eden lost 
but fail to hear 

the music 
blackbird

singing herself
home
