“Black joy
Joy is the will
Is the dimple that has endured
A dance so deep in a dark cheek
A wound without a scar
Without a trace
The humour of hurt
Is the hell of being healed
Joy daps death
Lives in the grin
Singing from the blood
Bathes in a smirk
Testifies tenderness in a tear”

Well worth the wait, beautifully narrated. I’m not ready to surrender this book.

Listen, the King of Asgard don’t give a damn about your daylight or your saving time. Schedules must be adhered to. Still waiting on the extra hour, cause sleep don’t come easy and I’m going down. Had us out here looking like ashy chocolate at 6 in the morning, on this brisk fall day.

Finally!!! I have been waiting for this book since forever-ever (Apr. 27🤭). The wait for Harriet Tubman: Live in Concert was long too, (very entertaining BTW) but this is the longest wait to date. Please believe, I am going to take my sweet time and savor every word!
