She has coughed red
aortic blooms on kitchen towels.

The blood has a black sheen,
a puddle full of storm-clouds.

I tug the fur around her throat
until she forgets....

So graceful and kind
So honest and true
While she sat down for me 
She stood up for you
Only by refusing to move
When ordered to
She paid the price
And satisfied our dues....

Rosa Parks
Would have been a hundred
Were she alive today
Human beings of any colour
would gladly let her sit
Anywhere on the bus
With the possible exception 
Of the driver's seat...

Ode ao agir

Segunda ou quarta-feira
de segunda a segunda
 Aja, Faça,

de porta em porta,
do rosa ao nude. 

Hoje e sempre
Espalhe, Espalhe 
Faça um pouco a mais....

Have a blessed birthday, dear Kaye, 
There are gifts inside the boxes; 
The fine food set out in buffet 
Is for everyone to access.

Sometimes monumental events 
Have humble beginnings 
Like the unyielding courage 
Of Rosa Parks
Refusing to give up her seat.

Menos é Mais

Menos é mais,

que nesse

Lua Rosa
sejamos
simples,
para usar 
menos,
para fazer,
mais e mais...

Rosa took a stand 
by taking a seat :)
making a strong point
with dignity sweet :D

Encantado

A cor Rosa
encanta;
é preciso
parar e 
admirar.

A lua rosa 
Inspira
a sonhar
e nos guia 
a tudo 
que quiser 
e muito 
mais valor;
podemos 
fazer, até
com menos
muito 
mais e mais....

Never again will the rain of your pain
flood the streets of my joy
because never again
will you know where I live!


Written: By my sister Rosa Johnson in 1970 after a painful separation from her 
husband....

Luz da Lua

Abril é o
mês de inovar
e até a
luz da lua
brilha rosa.

O brilho 
da lua Rosa
traz para nós 
em cada 
terça-feira 
um começo
de caminhos
iluminados
com força,
 para 
fazer com
menos esforço;
mais e mais....

Menos faz Mais

Em abril
na quarta
de lua rosa,
o encanto 
é visível,
os olhos

mais e mais.

Na quarta

os sonhos 
vêm à tona,
um mundo 
de encanto,
em cada canto
com menos 
se faz;
mais e mais....

AH Mulher!
Sempre junta
palavras para a
ação.

AH Mulher,
Forte e fraca

no meio do amor
como o centro da rosa
com ostinato rigore
faz a cada dia mais
e mais......

Lavanda Rosa

Nas noites 
de lua rosa,
a lavanda 
transmite 
paz e serenidade,
acalmando 
nossa ansiedade.

Que em 
cada dia 
de abril,
a doce 
fragrância 
sutil,
levem 
uma
nova energia
para fazer com
menos,
mais e mais....
