PALM SHADED BEACHED REFLECTIONS

CATEGORY

Semi-cocooned

in a palm-shaded

hammock, I watched

wrinkling waves weaving

to stilled silent shores,

splashing my mind

with keloid memories

of once anchored

offshore slave ships

waiting to disembarked

their sardine-like packed cargo

of my kingly and queenly

African ancestors.

 

The swelling tides

of these keloid memories

caused the ocean of teary

eyes to send slow streaming

waves flowing down the shores

of my face to tired trembling lips

salty frothing my tingling thirsty

 tongue.

 

Meanwhile, through a watery

golden reflection, the sun having

completed its daily enlightening

task could be seen over the horizon,

wearily laying his herald head into

the assuring bosom of the sea:

overhead—V-formation—soared

a flock of dark-hued echoing birds.
