Watched Beyonce’s Lemonade….
Wow!
A quote:
“I tried to change. Closed my mouth more. Tried to be softer, prettier, less awake. Plugged my menses with pages from the Holy Book but still coiled inside me was the need to know: Are you cheating on me?”
A 60 min blend of poetry, dance, sultry vocals, beats and eye-catching visuals! An Ode to the Woman!
The poetry was written by a Somalian-British poet called Warsan Shire. Cool poet!…. already named Poet Laureate of London at age 25 in 2014! Below is a snippet from her poem “what they did yesterday afternoon”:
later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered
where does it hurt?
it answered
everywhere
everywhere
everywhere.
