i love saul williams.
she kissed
as if she, alone
could forge the signature of the sun
and if one could understand such majesty one would also understand that kisses hold codes for unlocking new portals and that pyramids were first made of flesh
our bonded souls
shifting through
hidden corrals
and passageways
i will find my way
to eternity
within you
when i can feel you
breathing into me
i, like a stone gargoyle
atop some crumbling building,
spring to life
a resuscitated angel
i sweep through city streets
my wings out-stretched
making mothers
clutch their young
and remember
and do you remember, dear ones?
or has your history forsaken you?
there were tales told 'round fires
mysteries coded in song
chants and uprisings
centuries of art
all incantations
calling forth this day
on this day
the drunks vomit in unison
'though last night they drank from different cups
children laugh and play
intruducing their parents
to invisible friends
a country girl smiles
and two trees blossom
out of season
as if she, alone
could forge the signature of the sun
and if one could understand such majesty one would also understand that kisses hold codes for unlocking new portals and that pyramids were first made of flesh
our bonded souls
shifting through
hidden corrals
and passageways
i will find my way
to eternity
within you
when i can feel you
breathing into me
i, like a stone gargoyle
atop some crumbling building,
spring to life
a resuscitated angel
i sweep through city streets
my wings out-stretched
making mothers
clutch their young
and remember
and do you remember, dear ones?
or has your history forsaken you?
