brick house women
don’t dream God they
dream of the ocean
walking on water
through fire
of rising
like mist over rivers
overcoming with the sunrise
standing up when the sun sets
when they dream of
falling they then dream
flying without wings
they dream
solutions miracles
with eyes open
pray with
hands moving
only go forward
brick house women
endure
cracks in the wall
water rising
sky falling
the world on fire
they endure
like music
like the smell
of dirt after rain
like flowers
in the desert
they are the foundation
on which we
build brick houses
standing after storm
last house on the block
make you wanna
hollar in between
trying to make life
brick house
built on rocky ground
still standing
brick house women
endure
