#PoemOfTheDay

This poem speaks of the intersection between race & gender. How a lack of role models can place self-limits on one’s aspirations

But there is resilience and self-reliance too – not as a romantic notion, but a necessity

‘a bridge between starshine and clay’

I am learning
how to call my

self, how to put my mouth
on whatever i like.

I can’t help but notice the irony that World Cotton Day occurs during Black History month.

The poem imagines a future in which liberty isn’t an abstract concept or political slogan but a everyday reality.

Recently it feels like we are going backwards

Down a road
where people are asleep. Towards
the moon or the shadows of houses.
Towards the songs’ pretended sea.

This tiny poem carries the full weight of the atrocity – the bombing by the police of the MOVE residence in Philadelphia

11 people were killed including 5 children. It is alleged police shot people escaping from the burning building

That 2-word final line!

Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me
Fluttering from the autumn tree.
