Fearful
Can’t fathom the trepidation
people of color live with
during mundane living.
As a woman I avoid certain
places and situations
according to time of day.
As a widow I learned to be
wary of stalkers on social media.
Predators prey on all sorts
of vulnerabilities.
Your words speak to me, as loudly as a hawk speaks, as softly as a gentle breeze…
Thanks for your comments! I enjoy your poems also.
tell the truth but tell it slant- – – Emily, a poet’s poet, gave us that instruction that you put into lines of lovely poetry.
Thx Bruce!
