A Slow Rising of Sisterhood Confirmed

by Shawnta Cannon


White gal with some sudden
sense of kinship
to my tree line, 
a khaki-tan seed
labeled junior.
To know 
beyond suspect
that she had love
and got caught up
out there
for the smooth talking fellow
my aunt city-born 
spent Sunday through Sunday 
praying for
makes me appreciate
that white gal
is a woman
too.
