Dreams of a fire starter

Graphic by Bruna Costa

Every night I dream a little dream, as big as the ocean, as small as a boat,
that is carried along, on the stream of the sea.
My dreams are big, much bigger than me
but to the world, they are inconsequential… you see?
Do you see, or do you watch?
Watch as my overzealous, overactive dreams engulf me?
They take over my mind, as they should take over the world.
I am little, but a big powerful Black girl fire starter, a queen.
A pharosee, a deep purple, black, uninterrupted dream.
