When I was a child I only saw the blonde woman in the fields, alone, with snow-pale skin. She is the angel I was shown, yet here I have discovered two more, two who relish in their dark skin. Our world looks down upon darker-skinned women for something so simple as existence. Yet here, I repeat, I see two women, in each other's comfort, in each other’s Blackness, in each other’s amity, so beautiful, so pure, so radiant, so true. Please let them relish, let them love, let me see more angels.
