Oh, But He Can Breathe!

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

Celestine Nudanu – 2/06/2020

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

Image may contain: Gyasiwa Ansah, smiling, sitting and indoor

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
