whose ecological ethos
goes out the window

Loving my refurbished fifteen inch mid 2015 Macbook Pro

A lightning fast machine
purchased three days ago
now comfortably nestling with
said technological wonder,
where outside a cold wind howls
measuring windchill factor of five below

Of Louisiana, guarded by the ghosts of the Mississippi,
And here the dead tell know tails, of the living's returning,
After adventuring into the darkness of the night.

Gun owners indiscriminately brandish
loaded firearms toward innocent victims,
and concomitantly excite

yet proliferation allowing
free ranging banshee dervish

I trace my existence back to

Iye mwen N’ogie (My great Mother).

You see when I was but a foetus

In a womb of the homo sapien whom I will

Later call my mother.

I lay brooding, developing and

     You stare silently squinting
 through  your stained glass panes

Pulling aside sapphire drapes
 of somber samite and organdy
  
Lo, gazing mesmerized
a quixotic moon--

Spare a thought
For buffaloes, bulls and bears groaning, mourning, starving
Under your collar don’t blow hot
Making rivers and rodents sad, carving

Encroaching on privileges animals and plants possess

Sweet soul sister

Soulful big eyes so kind 
An angelic face and cheeks of fuchsia
Rose the name should’ve given
They’d turn red when...

the color of coffee enlightened 
by cream
Her multicultural mask gathered all

In this story the leaves are digressing,
In another, perhaps I shall too
With warm feelings and autumn shades tinting my view
