A Poem by Michelle Norsworthy

Flashing lights and smoke screens

twisted mirrors twist her – she was

not loving what she’d see

made up of soul externally

She said she feels like, loves

Maya Angelou and her Phenomenal Woman

a personal thing found in a page of black text digital

She said that phenomenal woman,

given life through poetry, a stack of letters

“That phenomenal woman was the real me.”
