Interactive Poetry LessonA closed window looks down
on a dirty courtyard, and Black people
call across or scream across or walk across
defying physics in the stream of their will.
Our world is full of sound
Our world is more lovely than anyone's
tho we suffer, and kill each other
and sometimes fail to walk the air.
We are beautiful people
With African imaginations
full of masks and dances and swelling chants
with African eyes, and noses, and arms
tho we sprawl in gray chains in a place
full of winters, when what we want is sun.
We have been captured,and we labor to make our getaway, intothe ancient image; into a new
Correspondence with ourselvesand our Black family. We need magicnow we need the spells, to raise upreturn, destroy,and create. What will be
the sacred word?
