Jessica Nobubele Frame Poems

I don’t care what skin you’re in
You’re my brother
And I love you
...

African Mama as she struts down the catwalk
African mama with that multi-colored headdress
Vuluptuous woman
Independant woman
...

How can we speak of justice?
Mercy
Righteousness
How do we proclaim it aloud?
...

In the morning I wake
To the beautiful sound of choruses and melodies
I wake to the sound of the crisp breeze against my tender cheeks
...

What makes you think you can talk to me like that
Violate my vulnerability
Mock me with your careless tongue and cold stares
...

You mean so much to me
Your smile
Your openness and strength
It bring such joy to my heart
...

I chose to hope again today
To believe in beauty,
In sunsets,
In the rain
...

Abused
Feeling threatened
She hides away in the corners
Waiting
...

This life
I dedicate this life to someone greater
To someone higher
Someone wider
...

Monday sister left
Tuesday she didn't speak to me

Wednesday they killed foreigners
...
