my issue with what they consider beautiful
is their concept of beauty
centers around excluding people
- i find hair beautiful
- when a woman wears it
- like a garden on her skin
- that is the definition of beauty
- big hooked noses
- pointing upward to the sky
- like they're rising to the occasion
- skin the color of earth
- ancestors planted crops on
- to feed a lineage of women with
- thighs thick as tree trunks
- eyes like almonds
- deeply hooded with conviction
- the rivers of punjab
- flow through my bloodstream so
don't tell me my women
aren't as beautiful
as the ones in your country
