Looking for Me
I remember reading
Mills and Boons
You know,
Like Danielle Steele?
I remember the woman on the cover
Hair streaming over the arms of
A muscular
White man
She
White too
I remember how I started to look for me
To look for the little girl
With the braids dotting
Dotting she head
Like the pieces on a
Checkerboard
Sometimes I read 4 or 5 books
All in one day
Just looking
Looking for me
The little girl with the braids
Dotting she head
Like the pieces on a
Checkerboard
One day it was a redhead with
Green eyes
The next?
A blonde with blue
But never a little girl
Caramel brown
Real chubby and cute
Almond shaped eyes
Soft and brown
Like plump just washed
Raisins
Lips purple-red like
Fresh juicy plums
I remember
Never finding that little girl
The little girl
With the braids dotting
Dotting she head
Like the pieces on a
Checkerboard
Taken from unpublished work "Muse Melodies"
