POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
1985
I heard sound calling us
Telling us we were ready to meet him
I thought "Since he's telling us then we are ready"
What he didn't tell us was he was going to make us shout when we met him
And so we met him
And of course we shouted
For as long as I have been intelligible though
I've asked myself "Am I sure it was a sound or sounds?"
Then I read "Let us..."
These sounds (and this sound) always sustain us
Telling us we were ready to meet him
I thought "Since he's telling us then we are ready"
What he didn't tell us was he was going to make us shout when we met him
And so we met him
And of course we shouted
For as long as I have been intelligible though
I've asked myself "Am I sure it was a sound or sounds?"
Then I read "Let us..."
These sounds (and this sound) always sustain us

Mulattos from heaven
Before I met you
I thought love and I were through
I sent you messages but got no reply
I thought "she's so beautiful she probably has a man"
But on the first day of a September to remember
I don't know how it happened
But bees of love brought a pollen from my anther to your flower's stigma
You sent me a message
Saying you saw my messages of which you had no prior knowledge
Since that day you've been all I've been thinking about
I'm in for the long haul there's no tapping out
Just to let you know
The bees are in my camp ...

I'm sorry
I'm sorry baby
I shouldn't have let you go
Now I realize you're the flesh of my flesh
Bone of my bone
Oh baby
My baby
You're still my baby
Even though for what I did to you,
Now, you hate me
Please come back into my life
I'll try to make things right
I promise to be a better man
Together we'll follow God's plan
You'd be my girl
And I'd be your man
I shouldn't have let you go
Now I realize you're the flesh of my flesh
Bone of my bone
Oh baby
My baby
You're still my baby
Even though for what I did to you,
Now, you hate me
Please come back into my life
I'll try to make things right
I promise to be a better man
Together we'll follow God's plan
You'd be my girl
And I'd be your man
