‘10 Things I want to say to a black woman’ by Joshua Bennet

Dude, i can’t even. This piece is just a gift to every woman. That.is.all.

‘The way to a black man’s heart is not through his stomach but through the heaven in your hello. The echo of unborn galaxies that pounces forth through your vocal chords, and melts ice grills into oceans.’

‘Who else can make kings out of bastards? Turn a fatherless Christmas into a floor full of gifts’

‘Your skin reminds me of everything beautiful I have ever seen. The color of ink on a page, the earth we walk on and the cross that held my savior.’

‘You are like a sunrise in a nation at war. You remind people that there is always something worth waking up to.’

‘Our bed, will be an ancient temple where i’ll construct wax on the small of your back. We will make love like the sky is falling. Moving to the rhythm of bed springs and Bel biv Devoe and angels, applauding in unison, saying this is the way it was meant to be.’

‘Never stop pushing. This world needs you now more than ever’.
