Sonya Ki Tomlinson Poems

My heart is a celestial bedroom
where my Lord hastens unto me
I have placed a garland of stars
around his neck
...

I covered your wound
with a piece of my heart
what will it take to
stop the bleeding
...

tip of the flame
is lucid blue
it's nucleus a
golden spiral
...

Forty days and Forty nights
Kachina dolls danced
pounding deer skin drums
rattling snake gourds
...

In shimmering ebb of
evening's closing tide
I kneel and kiss
Your jeweled footprint
...
