Sistah Appreciation XXIII
Sistah:
If I could,
I'd praise u
in a song
reword its verse
articulately
so the beauty of
u is heard
Around the globe
about the world, if
I could—
Lovin' u
must be like
mastering the sculpture
Touchin' your body
with sensualness
its fruits ripen
in appreciation from
being praised.
By a poet in poetry
where all stanzas
fall short of the immaculate verse
u amass an amount
Unaccountable
"A pencil to draw the way to you and back"
Because:
I enjoy the Administration, and—
There is nothing like Black love.
Meditation
Sometimes the wind
is silent in study,
pondering direction.
Beautiful Question
Is beautiful truth or is beautiful lying
beside you when you close your eyes?
And there, when you wake and live,
untruth to misperceive faces in mirrors,
reclining gentle in the beholding eye,
laying and waking questions only self can answer.
—Wm. Irving
