Our feet cannot hold

Our feet cannot hold

This weight on our head
When we stand erect.
We exposed this predicament

Prior to your departure.

How can we,  you then carry
Into man’s final place of abode?

MOM AND SON

You were my mom

But I never called you mom

I was your son

But you called me uncle

THE TIME OF THE FULL MOON

The full moon has reared its ugly head

Just before the sun went down

They hunt hungrily in pairs and groups

Like crows in the heavenly sky

Stepping at each branch

To test and verify

Their home and domain

FOREVER GREEN

Beautiful and enviable green

I love you green, your green

That you’ll always be green

The green that you are

With the green that i love and am

My green will be your green

Our green

Forever green

STILL IN MY NOSTRILS

Three years have come so quick

And the dish has remained uncooked

Only the smell of the sooth on the burning pan

Still in my nostrils

Which the red fire has left

FOLLOWING YOUR THOUGHTS NOT ON HIM

Yet another time to pause

And enter into reflections

How it has all happened

Following your thoughts not on him

As if all that matters was it;

And him who allows all things

Will allow what you don’t think.

Anger kills mercy.

The house without mercy

Opens up all her skeletons

Hidden under his cupboard.
