Black Huntress Woman
Poetry of the hunt.

A Huntress Supreme - she stalks the night, seeking stealthy prey
Her footsteps tread on runes of those gone before...reverent
Silence in her hunt was taught in sacred childhood lessons
Passed down from generation to generation - secrets taught
Her intention is escape - to places only the old ones know
She drowns in the thunderous scream of humanity's roar
Female lioness...seeking her solitude self...too long - she growls -
Too long has she toiled under scorching sun and sky's wrath
Drowning, burning, living a made-up fantasy of truth and lies
Why must she accept the matrix which conceals her Afrocentric truth -
she is Black Woman...intricate - already defined
With braided hair adorned, glowing celestial beads...unique
She walks on a path paved with ancient African tears -
wild things and tree bound stealth are her birthright
they guide her path...reminding her of her roots
Her ancestors ghostly shadows guard the pathway,
directing her to her prey
Her hunt is long, her journey fraught with peril...still she walks
Undaunted. Unafraid. Seeking Herself.
Yet the farther she walks -
The more realization dawns.
The hunt is a never ending circle...it intertwines and connects -
It envelopes and enfolds, continually guiding...learning, teaching
........remolding
It never ceases to seek new prey...Life itself is a daring hunt...and
To the victor goes the spoils.
Hunting is in her blood. She was born of Royal African Ancestry.
She is a Black Woman. A Huntress Supreme.
An Ebony Goddess. Still acquiring...

See her beguiling smile. She rests...until the next hunt!
