Dark Girls
Beautiful obsidian figures
Artfully sculpted from the smoothest and hardest of stone
You have a luster like no other
As if God were your makeup artist
And she sat you down one day,
Took a beauty sponge out of her kit
And applied sunlight to not just your face,
But every inch of you
Just you
It doesn't wash off
Rub off
Or crack
No matter how old it gets
And you're wearing it well
You're all wearing it very well.
