About Us, Where I'm From

i am from a apple

from pizza and hot dogs

i am from bricks and brownstones

i am from the lilac bushes

the pretty tall trees

the leaves on the ground

i am from family dinners on Sundays and laughs and great times

from Marshall singleton and Linda Shobey

from Richard Dowe

i am from Christianity beliefs and southern hospitality

from always wanting to be the best and look the best

i am from the Baptist churches

im from brooklyn new york with south carolina roots

from black eye peas and collard greens

from near to death experience

the tramua and heartbreak of almost losing my father in a car accident

to the turn around of him being well and alive til this day

to my growth to strive to be a better person everyday

from never taking life for granted

losing my grandfather back in 2017

i am from summerton sc my deep route

Erasure Poem

Erasure Poem, Poetry

gazed flower blooming
eye.. llorona.

follow her-astonished,
grief’s petals

now love?

angel touched her ,
knew name.

eyes and lips touched honey
never be the same.

Eve took apple in mouth,

fist presses against the red-gold
Black,
unsolvable mysterium— close my eyes

chasing
circle
high

gods put hands
me, break my heart
loosen a beast from some darklong depth—

the beautiful
shining devour-horse

my work labor
make emerald
l green
violet

love river,
sweet water.


come good
