On the cover:
FENNEL

give the hungry
some seeds and they’ll sleep full
for another day who wants to wake to misery

i’m sister to sorrow
cousin to parsley
sometimes telling the truth is too painful
i flatter
an ugly woman
you look good enough to eat
what is a false compliment
in comparison to a hurt feeling

mek dem slander me
fi sow fennel is fi sow sorrow
not true
me tall wid a head full of hair
but me beauty is de moles dem
all ova me body

the anguish you feel
cuts to the marrow
I am profound
