waking dream
I grasp at gossamer wings
fleeting angel

taste of heaven
for the homeless child
ripened mangoes

noonday heat
stepping into itself
my shadow

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

But come out I should and did with this haiku of mine published in the Stardust Haiku online Magazine edited by Valentina Ranaldi- Adams. Very much appreciated Valentina. 🙂
I guess with this, dear friends, my muse might be back in full swing. At least I hope so. 🙂
echoes of silence
reverberating . . .
empty tomb

Star
full moon
a lone star splits the night
into sounds of silence

inMy son Cedric penned this poem and I just had to post it here.
Miracle
Is my life ending?
I lie on my bed
My mind in turmoil
I try to the best of my ability
But I still can’t shake off this feeling
That something can go wrong
If only I can turn back the wheels of time
I will make it right
2
I do not go through this alone
Many others feel the same anxiety
Only I am a little less apprehensive
Because there is a sliver of light penetrating this darkness
Believing in the Divine Being that keeps me moving
Believing that a miracle will come my way
The day of reckoning has come upon me

fading glow sheaths
the earth’s nakedness
