D'ElegantOne
needle & thread
In the
beginning,
you were a
man of steel,a heart of platinum.
I was your
fine silk-
strongly cultivated,happily, looped freely
around you.
Together, we
sewed
sweet embroideries
of denoted love.
We boldly exchanged
solid sense
of freedom for intimacy.
Flamboyantly,
we quilted
our melanin with Kente, danced African
rituals through black, red
and green areas-
until you became bent,
and it was hard-to-see
eye-to-eye through the
complicated loops
we tangled and weaved.
Subconsciously,
my doubled
strands became insufficient
and cut ties to spin self
back whole from you.
