The sun
Bright orange with brilliant rays of violent red
Blinding and binding me to the softened pink sky it floats in.
The sun
Bright orange with brilliant rays of violent red
Blinding and binding me to the softened pink sky it floats in.
Since when
Did my life become reduced to
glass computer screens and shiny cellphone sheens;
Gather us all on this festive occasion
to consume the ingredients of the celebration.
Family, supper, moonlight, spirits;
daggers, demons, desolation.
Oh, what a tease is He!
Who dangles the prospect of love
in front of your nose
Slabs of immense lime
tell a story in themselves
of a people born in blessing, displaced, and back again.
