(Apropos of Black Poetic Griots)

We may not be deemed apostolic recorders
But we poets, guided with divine wisdom, are
The lay scribes thereof in the chronicling of
Our life’s sojourn in the shadowing times
we spend here on this parcel of what is
An example of planetary creation;

And we Poet-Griots...

AN ALLEGORICAL COCOON LESSON
				(APROPOS OF POLLING)

In preparation, ants are moulding
And stacking their mounds; in hives,
Bees reflect collective oneness 
In the sweetness of their unity;
And in high distant places, black 
Widows meticulously spin their webs,
While honing hornets harden their nests:-

Cocooned in political and economic darkness,

Once again we’re wedged in a wrinkle
of time in our lives; a wrinkle that can’t
be so easily ironed out and pressed away.

Thoughts flow as my hypergraphia grows
Building fireworks of prose
Upon scraps; line or unlined sheets

People of their bordered lands
And nearly extincting them
Via hue-skin oppression
In a supposedly new found nation
Baptized with the the...

once

again

the warmth

of sunshine

showered my being

awakening the inkwell of mind

overflowing in musing contemplations

of allegorical messages 

of a fertile womb

of mind seeking to inoculate 

others against infectious

lies of deceit

sowing apathtic seeds towards

empty scales of justice

and  plowing

that pandemic-abracadabra

oppressor syndrome

that we must uproot

in the awareness

of ancient poetic-tragedies

Dust shrouds the peeling varnish on the old church pew as Noah
(first of his namesake, last of his namesake) thumbs an overripe
orange in his patchwork coat pocket. The preacher, made an obelisk
 by distance and light looms against the marble cross, stark
fragmented, like bullet holes...

song of the mattress


 she slept, wrinkled and small
 on satin sheets, a band-aide covering her mattress,
 knees tucked tightly beneath her chin
 and legs pressed against her breasts
 as if waiting for a gigantic splash when she hit the water
 
 motionless, she dreamed...
