Echo
echo my heart
the silence in his
parting words

FOR GEORGE FLOYD
I can’t breathe!
I can’t breathe!
Oh mama, help me
please sir, l can’t breathe!
yet, the alabaster white man pressed on
all 200 pounds of him
knee heavy as lead on my neck
snuffing my life
a lit match stick, its glow fleeting
Mama, l can’t breathe!
please sir, l am dying1
but of course
he has to steal my breath
ebbing away
to ignite his miserable life
a cowardly act
I can’t breathe sir!
my pleas of agony
fading
my Black breath in its dying throes
oxygen to fuel his brand
of white supremacy
so he can breathe
Breathe on me
breathe of God
so I can have life
as you welcome me home!
RIP Floyd

Rainbow
harmattan rainbow
the colours split into
sounds of silence

from branch to branch
whispers of silence

heartbeat
in the silence of your silence
we connect
2
shooting star
she slips into
annals of silence

FOR HER LADYSHIP JUSTICE DORIS ASO BEMPONG
(Justice of the High Court of Ghana)
anguished
my wailing ululations
split the night
to touch
the sound of silence
the waltz of a falling leaf
is but a languid drop to earth
even the winds fall in tandem
with its rhythm
so haste not in departing
slowly let your breath
extinguish in me
REST IN PERFECT PEACE, SOUL SISTER

Showers
midnight showers
a sound of silence
in each droplet

Echo of Silence
to the end
that my hallelujahs
rise up to you
favour me O Lord
in this
