They Are Playing Our Song

Such violence.


Our life


downsized 


to sentimentality


A simple tune


that sweetly packages


all our infinite variety


a cavalier skip


a dance


just above the jagged edges


of reality.


A quip


a noncommittal sip...


But--


Please--


" Play it again Sam."

Life is a constant rehearsal
of a dance that is yet to happen.

When the music stops abruptly
the player skip a step.

Play it again Sam
and the player dances on.

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!

Visions of A Skylark Dressed in Black by Aberjhani

“The woman or man who is a poet, or fiction writer, or playwright, or all of these, is engaged constantly in a jazz ballet of vocabularies, passions, genders, histories, perspectives, death, love, and life. The music of revelation announces itself to
