Dedication poem to Jimmy Santiago Baca.

I wait outside your adobe
For the light to come on in your window
I wait alone in the darkness
Looking for you in the moonlight.

I know that any moment now
I'll hear a whisper in the wind,
"He's coming,"
And you will return, weary but glad
After a dark night's journey
Where you have braved demons and madness
And you will invite me inside and
We will drink and make love
Until we can no longer breathe
And you will tell me again,
"I will never leave you."

Much depth here, one can almost see a kinda Christian character, from (pilgrims progress) fighting his plight of right...

Bonnie Rait, did a song about ...."waiting outside your window"

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!
