My presence


The sweet blade of grass
from the fresh cut of a cutlass
The moist rain-water mud
brown like my skin
If I can go back to the days
where the cow grazed
to fill my belly with fresh boiled milk
my life will be satisfied
with one Sip
Time to book a trip
out of Babylon gates
Sweet Guyana awaits
my presence.

I'll leave you in Summer.

vast sins spread thin
blue sky mimics yr shades
the loveliness
loneliness
you hold..

I reach into yr drawers
for the emptiness
you promise.
Un.holy deep
vast sins rise again

welcoming me
you with your smile
suspense me
i dive ..
You hold me deep
depth..drown
i smile
death should be this way

the warmth..the coolness
the sea,,you,,ocean deep
me.
