“Trust Black Women”

Jasmine moves

a pulse, a prophecy,

a sister stitching justice

into the seams of power.

___

She walks with the breath

of mamas who held the world together,

with the yes of a people

tired of waiting for truth to arrive.

___

Her run is not a race

it is a reclamation,

a whispered uprising:

we are here,

we are worthy,

we are the future you fear

and the future we need.
