I love the fisherman,
With his boat and net and patience
He has ransacked the seas
And brought home fish and crab
...
Have you seen stars in autumn
Or moon at the spire of her glow?
If you have, i bet my smiles for frowns
You will pass them to kings as crowns.
...
You know her,
The solitary sower
She buried a thousand
Grains away in deep sand
...
I speak of thee as a starry constellation
That adorns the sky like strings of pearls
Entwining the royal neck of a queen.
A beauty to the eyes.
...
I am African
Not because I am hungry,
But the color of my skin
Says so.
...
I will call you the morning dews
That salutes the farmer's feet by morn news,
I will call your name.
...
Behind the green infested walls of the Cathedral
Ere a worship palace left to ruin and ghost,
I stood shaking of fear, knowing 'twas evil's hour to befall,
On a ghostly place was a little lamb lost.
...
Let's go to the sea
Let's go to the ocean
You and I,
Pick some periwinkle
...
I touch her feet, I freeze
I touch her palms, I freeze
I kiss her lips, frost, like ice in between teeth.
...
To the wombs that bore me
From half to whole,
Foetus to flesh
Till I summed nine moons and ready to drop.
...
