...Stripped of dignity
A refusal of warmth
Forced palatability 
A black woman's life
A spectacle to society
Our pain Comedy
Silence our only company
In a world that chooses to ignore 

Our word...

The Sungazing

...At the hour of 10:10, and again at 15:15,

There—before me—was Ra, the E...

The Hybrid Future

...The year is 2037.

Whence Are Sonnets Sung, Full-Throated and Deep

...

Whence are sonnets sung, full-throated and deep,
     with bars of dulcet bliss sweetly echoing;
how inspired rhymes, so happily tuned, make thee weep
     within thine innermost, and lofty, b...

The Enchanted Wood

...
In twilight's hush, where shadows dance and play,

In Lagos' vibrant mosaic, life abounds,
Multicultural threads, in waters surrounded.
Lovely, funny, and resilient souls reside,
Great leaders emerge, yet hurdles abide.

Known that you were leaving, leaving to never come back anymore, leaving to a place where no one can reach, to a place where no visitors are allowed. Known that it was the last laugh...

Can You Explain this Movie?

...We sat at the only empty table. 
I'd never seen her before, 
that elegant, thirty-something lady, 
when I visited that shore. 

I was twenty-two years old, with big ideas, 
a little scruffy, a ...

..............
Maybe he offers..... but
Here is my shoulder for your tears, on his behalf

It shouldn't be my business 
My unsolicited actions, you couldn't care less
