"Moon marked and touched by sun my magic is unwritten but when the sea turns back it will leave my shape behind. I seek no favor untouched by blood unrelenting as the curse of love permanent as my errors or my pride I do not mix love with pity nor hate with scorn and if you would know me look into the entrails of Uranus where the restless oceans pound. I do not dwell within my birth nor my divinities who am ageless and half-grown and still seeking my sisters witches in Dahomey wear me inside their coiled cloths as our mother did mourning. I have been woman for a long time beware my smile I am treacherous with old magic and the noon's new fury with all your wide futures promised I am woman and not white." - Audre Lorde 'A Woman Speaks' . Let's let this celestial embrace happening in the heavens inspire a deeper look within to realign ourselves. . #moontouchedandmarkedbysun #audrelorde #eclipse2017 #eclipse #moonshine #moonmagic #sun #stars #celestial #magic #blackwomen #writers #poetry #poetsofinstagram #sky #dayturnedtonight #typographyinspired #houseplants #leomoon #moontouched #sunmarked (at Bay Ridge, Brooklyn)
