I have no fear of depths
and a great fear
of shallow living.“

“Where there is a woman…there is magic.
If there is a moon falling from her mouth,
she is a woman who knows her magic,
who can share or not share her powers.
A woman with a moon falling from her mouth,
roses between her legs
and tiaras of Spanish moss,
this woman is a consort of the spirits.”
-Ntozake Shange
