poem 323/365:2016 [for DB]

Posted on November 17, 2016 by Tshombe Sekou

we are leaves and seeds

drifting upon gentle winds

here for a time—gone.

//

love comes to us

we

are that love

//

what we re|member

of you will always be your love

a sea moving home

I taught her to give birth

and her me to be a man—

enough to love her

//

mothers give birth to men

who will give them love or grief…

the sky is darkened
when our daughters are stolen
the future is a void

casting love as shade
dancing in the wind with grace
—mothers are our trees

we are deserts without them;
loveless—a shore without sea

Poem 10/365:2014 | for Imamu Amiri Baraka

your words are the sun

to a soul lost in the night

the spring of winter

 

I became you

when

I read you 

 

your poems became fire

to a wild bush unconsumed

a revolution

 

you the idea

art

in full bloom

 

you have transitioned

immortalized by your art

beyond our mortal grasp

 

[we will miss you Abbu]

your smile warms the heart

that mourns the sun in autumn

where time turns winter

I heard the dawn’s song
sacred as our breaths give birth
to old and new souls
