...Just random ... very random thoughts tonight ...
*******
On this day
January
2009
kneeling in my garden
Loving the massage of mud through my fingers
Sun breaking smile, clouds whisked away
Down on my knees bedding seeds
Discussing rhyme,
****************
thoughts upon the passing of Emmet Till
date January 15th,
a bit of history, time ... always crazy in my head
questions, head shaking muttering disbelief
and a middle-aged woman’s ruminations into a fat fluffy white pillow
she falls deep into abandonment
drunk from the billow of cool cotton and supple down . . .
. . . day done . . . lashes quiver and whisk away prayers and platitudes
the sway of her drowsy meditation
tumbling
. . . tumbling
into sweet
sweet obscurity
closing her eyes to the after glow . . . picture show
after memorizing, analyzing the child’s full face
history, fact and focus on mankind
day of commemoration january fifteenth, hope, harvest for tomorrow. . . hope and renewal
recollect on Emmett.. . . Emmett
who
never knew the slender of manhood, mustache above the lip
who never knew beyond the hatred come steal his boyhood
hushed-up his youth
drowned middle-age and murdered his senility
I never knew of Emmett or his kind . . . never knew
but
all the three foot high
cowboys and indians,
mostly likely doctors and tomorrow’s housewives
teachers, yesterday’s war story soldiers
throwing stones in miniature mimic on the sidewalk,
were palettes of white
cream and biscuit colored
by the pool suntanned backyard boys. . . backyard boys
and girls
never felt the heat rising up from Money
the year of our lord nineteen hundred and fifty-five Mississippi. . . Mayhem, Madness, Mercy none,
just a babe
*********************
she removed her slippers
pulled back the sheets
and fell into abandon
deep within billow and supple down
drunk on her surrender . . .
. . .lashes gently quivering . . . whisking away prayer
tumbling
. . . tumbling
to the sway of indifference
into sweet
. . . .obscurity
a smile gathers her lips . . . desire exhales unspent kisses
waiting for
farewell
to return her caress
