Here
night watch
is omen
a wanderer
...
I
mimic
sounds she makes
as aftermath
...
Stop
this now
this heartache
that burns inside
...
Rain
falling
keeps me wet
at dawn of light
...
Toque
and scarf
and jacket
ear muffs and gloves
...
I
shouted
when I heard
the shot rang out
...
Just
because
I am black
you measure me
...
Watch
ocean
tidal waves
rushing to shore
...
Cast
shadows
like the moon
as clouds pass by
...
Long
after
the silence
becomes brittle
...
