Come,
remember with me
the day that brother fought brother,
the bodies piled high
behind the false security of the stone divisions

Stepping from under bright marquees
Like girls who haunt the nights
Dusky brown girls that by day seems lovely
But like snowflakes in my warm heart
At nights just melt away

I’d ascend the sky and soar
About the sun
I’d pray my prayers, I’d jump,
I’d run

I’d race all the winds
