WE CAME BARE

Shamiqua Wilson

we came bare

bare and twisted

lifted by the oceans graces

swatting at the winds pull

we came bare

bare and half naked

complimented by the seas

turquoise undertones

we came bare

bare and graceful

graceful and pure

we came bare

livid in our birth right

strong in our lineage

we came bare

hungry and vacant

waiting for someone

to save us
