i am moving in
air amazon woman bare
foot thunderbound bells.

For Sister Gwen Brooks
you tell the stars
don't be jealous of her light
you tell the ocean,
you call out to Olukun,
to bring her always to
safe harbor,
for she is a holy one
this woman twirling
her emerald lariat
you tell the night

Haiku [for you]
love between us is
speech and breath. loving you is
a long river running.

This Is Not a Small Voice
This is not a small voice
you hear this is a large
voice coming out of these cities.
This is the voice of LaTanya.
Kadesha. Shaniqua. This
is the voice of Antoine.
Darryl. Shaquille.
