We have a beautiful mother
Her hills
are buffaloes
Her buffaloes
hills.
We have a beautiful mother
Her oceans
are wombs
Her wombs
oceans.
We have a beautiful mother
Her teeth
the white stones
at the edge
of the water
the summer
grasses
her plentiful
hair.
We have a beautiful mother
Her green lap
immense
Her brown embrace
eternal
Her blue body
everything we know.
Alice Walker
