Homegirls and Handgrenades Quotes

“your face like
summer lightning
gets caught in my voice
and i draw you up from deep rivers
taste your face of a thousand names
see you smile
a new season
hear your voice
a wild sea pausing in the wind”
― Sonia Sanchez, Homegirls and Handgrenades

“Is she a writer too, ma?"

"No, honey. She's a lady who has lived life instead of writing about it.”
― Sonia Sanchez, Homegirls and Handgrenades
