A poem on positionality

https://www.instagram.com/p/CHQu9UGnWIR/

3 sentences

the color of home

from Queens, New York to Montclair, California

passive consumption

tap to view.

seconds pass arising

a desire to be part of your story;

the ones only your close friends know

and our own little secrets ; )

Africa is Calling (You Home)

a call and response poem

Credits and much love to my mother for her response

Sankofa

What is Sankofa?

circle poem

two poems of contentment

I.

today i am pleased

to be at play with a pisces,

passing photos & pussy poetry

(oral performance)

dreams, fairytales, & fantasies

working my sacral chakra.

II.

today i am content to be a poet,

observe the world without window,

utter prayer poetry with my mother

­–salve for the soul–

and bring my pencil to the page

once again.

to Make a House a Home

for Luther Vandross
