PAD Challenge Day
30: Write a closing time poem.
P.M. (Poem Meridiem)
there is no final
hour
no shortage of
pages
there is no closure
for black lyrics
and I
this is a
lifetime
“Con Te Partiro"
with no whispering
orchestra
no choir mothering
and fathering harmony
no distance intervals
waiting for
the arrival of a
fat lady to sing
these verses come
from the
crevices of black
bloody bones
dismantling ungifted
cycles
these are gospel hymns
that’ll
never meet the top
ten
these are answered
prayers
rejoicing total praise
with warm finger
snaps,
rounds of
applause
for the truth written
boldly
without a dare,
a screeching glory,
an uncertain Amen
or
a mumbling hallelujah
these are
side-by-side alphabet lovers
walking page to
page by faith
these are syllables
of grace
taking the wheel
of change
to resurrect a discounted
soul
with no byline or
necessary accolade in mind
just pure joy riding
shot gun
through every beat
per minute
carefully around all
life’s
mountains and low-key
valleys
where the opened
ink soul is
forever young and
restless
and imbedded in
the gratitude
of the sun and
son
constantly shining
through
the actions of growing wild
in wise and courageous
in conscious and free
in conscious and free
