Black Girl on the Front Row!

“Nocturne”

 

Sometimes,

it is as if

there is so much night,

to get through.

Flying carpets

of

an opaque void

ensue,

until,

the luminosity of you,

opens the eyelids

of day.

Then,

I can smile,

amidst your intense warmth..

as

I am awake,

to Life..

and on my way.

“Soulcation”

 

On my haunches.

Over,

being haunted,

in my inky workroom.

Packed.

Ready to stay,

for my

Soulcation.

A,

long-awaited,

lengthy, pit-stop,

to authentic

auto-communication.

Corralled,

by faded purple.

Held aloft,

by floordrobes.

Swamped by thoughts,

strewn farther,

than

material dissaray,

on display.

Shovelling…

Wading…

Pulling band aids

off…

Time for healing, has begun.

I can see

the ‘7’, of completion.

But,

for now,

I focus

all my energy,

on surviving

Day 1.
