Poem Title:
Poem
Three faceless Misses amble amidst vagarious March rains under parasols / veiled in the anonymity of death/burial Three / shifting between tangible lives breathless bellies barely acclimated to first-life Brown girls who were shadows before second death Voiceless / ambassadors of disordered paradigms moved past dangerous minds weaponizing skin/genitals/unlikeness criminalizing the Creator who made all things well Unnoticed whispers/ persistently noiseless as in their lifetime holding umbrellas humbly against the falling judgments of the colour-blinded masses - Why rains of sticks/stones/saliva nooses to delete tar bodies Yet hapless muses stumbled onto canvas into dance/parlance where they will become unabandoned Savage Chronos buries memories in forgetting / turning them disremembered erased Still / Three impossible princesses forge through moss gray haze / dark puddles swallowing uneasily their backbreaking grief over race relations Daily / silently pissing peppers / hoisting parapluies raiment raking wet roads so saturated hems won't slap ankles Three from carnal cages flew haunting effigies rambling seeking their paradise visions Above Earth’s murky ways / umbrellas rise as masted ships sailing the slender triumvirate to Elsewhere's ardent sun cyan skies / immaculate time when fretful flesh is shed / purified souls will travel in light Three ancestral sisters became memory/myth/justice bursting through Chronos’ forgetful fog Lifeless / yet enduring / Three whispers: “Justice will rain where it had condemned the God of Creation is vengeful / He alone who’d seen us in a sightless world humanity’s cheap lenses / unprofitable paradigms beg amends.”
