Mama said

I like to see young girls clad in heels

The click the on the floor

Announcing their presence into the room.

the way they sway their hips as if shaking dirt off

They step like the world belongs to them

Like the bodies will never grow old and

The knees will not hurt from the child bearing.

Mama Said

The young female is a master of disguising pain

They will wear mac Ruby lipstic and a stiletto

Straighten that pencil skirt each time they sit

Not because they care much if it creases

But they will do anything to hide the pain

The brokenness,  the brokeness and the emptiness

They will let the toes go numb

And seize their shins up

Mama Said, wear those heels

Because that click is an earthquake without fault.
