but only lustful arms found.
With child,
in hiding...

Did Harriet Tubman Ever Cry
Did Harriet Tubman ever cry?

Did she ever bow down on her knees

And ask God, Why?

Did she ever scream when she had that bullet wedged...

Harriet has Beckwith-wiedemann syndrome, 
Something which shortened her right side, 
And she also his difficulty with blood sugar, 
But she’s a dog lover of Baya Bear and Bow. 

Born in Huntington which is a market town, 
In Cambridgeshire, on the 6th of May 1991,
She’s good...

Ghost of Harriet Harris Doth Not Countenance Monetary Largesse
After about fifty years as married wife

Ovarian cancer affliction

bald pate (color of bleached skull),
and crossbones characterized mortal death
