some snakes would hiss
others rapture-faced

A Love Letter To My Friends of IndiaWhen I think of India, I think of dark eyed beauties,
their foreheads painted with decorative red dots,
and I see them moving deliciously in beautiful bright costumes

Goree IslandPoet: Ken Jordan
Poem: Goree Island

that swell
in the Atlantic ocean
on

The unmerciful ill winds
that fell
over my people,
in Senegal,
on that
horrific night,

The fairness, the equality – balanced
Joys, promises, peace…
Broken by the partialities
The biases and prejudices, the favoritisms,
The...

They had the power of death and life

Reservoir water stock is drying out.

We bear the foul odours of wind-blown haze,

These Poet Eyes
As the ink dries swiftly,
