“She also said that Esmenda Jenkins Dube
would have wanted a northern life,
as far north as north can be, limits of north
where it was so cold nothing there understood hellfire,
and the mountains were white, like full-hipped women
sleeping undisturbed, women of the cold clouds
breathing out more cold clouds that departed their mouths
when they whispered heaven in their northern dreams.”
― Thylias Moss, Slave Moth: A Narrative in Verse

“Snow's a new word I fear.
The "s" in "snow"
wraps around me like an icy tongue,
the "o" like blue lips
with the power
to swallow everything.”
― Zilka Joseph, In Our Beautiful Bones
