Fantasy and Conversation


Speckled frogs leap from my mouth
to drown in the coffee
between our wisdoms
and decisions


I could smile
and turn these frogs in to pearls
speak of love, our making
our giving.
And if the spell works
shall I break down
or build what is bropken
into a new house
shook with confusion


Shall I strike
before our magic
turns colour?

Written by Audre Lorde (1934-1992)
