*not always what it seems
out of all of the things....we be
the prettiest brown I'D ever seen
standing there tux, voilin and the leaves play sonnets









Poem Artwork

The sky fallin' round here at a steady pace


misshaphen forms collide in clouds twisted with reality


teasingily hanging nooses in four-hundred years


spirit as rich as the soul


roots dugged deep


massive as locks twisted and oiled


tunes still comes from sun baked bellies


the moaning grown still sitting in deep waters


they just don't reconize it yet


(it takes a little time now to think)



 


same hands as mothers before midnight trains


same feets before air and sport


sky was fallin' then too


and we don rise and fall from all the chaos


life force


and we shall rise and fall again


tunes sweet as morning rain hard as hail storms


always be white sheets gainst black seas


always will be maneveur used to grow from


sky like ashe grey fallin' wit toxic rain all round my house


and i sang like my mama sang like her mama sang



 


all praises
