It reads:

Venus has flooded me,
second planet from the sun.

I wake up on her foamy shore.

She wants to take me to meet my children.
I’ve done this before… I’m still nervous.

Girl turning into woman,
woman turning into mother,
mother turning into Venus.

Venus falls in love,
flowers grow wherever
love touches her, this
is how she is reborn.

I look at photographs of my mother
when she was pregnant with me,
does she feel how I feel now?

In the dream I am crowning
osun,
Nefertiti,
and yemoja
pray around my bed,

I can smell jasmine,
I wake up as someone
places a wreath
upon my head.

Venus has flooded me,
second planet from the sun.

I wake up on her foamy shore.

She wants to take me to meet my children.
I’ve done this before… I’m still nervous.
