About the Book

all of mankind
originated from
the womb of
africa. pulsating,
undulating,
and fragrant was
the pit of berries
and roses with
cumin and gingerroot
deep in its fertile,
honeyed,
soil.

- hello sista sunshine

the birds remaining
near the nest formed
cocoa skin, woolen hair,
and tea-black
eyes to steel them
under aunty sun's
tight embrace.

our sisters and
brothers who flew
further away needed milk
in their skin and hair that
could wrap a neck when
the chill of leaving
home permeated
the air.

- miss you

the velvet people emerged
moist from the soil closest
to the equator with a wild,
sensitive nature.
further out north where
the wind whipped your
cheeks into blushing,
found the ivory men
and woman, appearing
calmer in nature.

- ice and fire

some say they're colder.
i say i like their
sophistication. they say
they like our jazz.
but our jazz is theirs.
and their sophistication
is ours. because we
are each other.

- tap into yourself

the unloved
daughter's name
was echo. she
was darker and
less beautiful
than hurricane.

- and mother set the
grounds for Narcissus

whatever you
told echo, she
received. she only
lived to serve, for
that, she thought,
was her only
purpose. and
her innocence
protected her
at first.

- echo
