is that just rain
or are they angels’ tears?
shed by souls who’ve carried burdens
for a number of untold years
always the tears of others
fill her heart with dread
but this wetness feels like blessings
bathing her troubled head
rain or angel tears, they’re cleansing
soapsuds in a washing machine
renewing hope & faith once more
keep that chin up, Nubian queen
