Title: (before) middle passage
Post by: erzulie on July 07, 2004, 11:29:25 AM
the wind/(before) middle passage #3
by z'etoile imma


do you feel like
a surrendered wish
holding softly before the dawn?
i was once you.
we shared the same tree.
wind fed us with spoons
of sweetness.
moon gave us drink.
the torture that bound us
was love.
do you remember
freedom?
